They Chose Me *Watty Awards*

*True Story*
Seven years. Seven years may not seem like a long time, but for me, seven years' difference made all the difference in the world.
They were seventeen and eighteen; I was barely eleven. They were Advanced dancers; I wasn't close. They were learned in acting and performing; I was only starting out. They were confident and cool; I was nervous and fearful. They were hoping (and maybe even expecting) roles in our dance production; mine came as a total surprise.
