Last night was our last big performance. It's all over now. I feel so odd because my heart hurts but I am so happy at the same time. I spent 9 months meeting amazing people, dancing and exploring the world. I'm not the person I was when I left Ohio in September. I have an entirely different outlook on the world and life. I've never been afraid to leave or step outside of what I'm used to. I feel as if the world is even smaller than I already thought it was and I definitely plan to do more traveling.
Sarah, Loryn, Gerry, Kevin, Ray, Esera & David: Knowing you has made my life significantly better. This is the most fun I've ever had. I don't think that one day has gone by in the last 9 months that I haven't laughed with you or at you. You are all so funny and talented. I can only hope that some of your amazingness has rubbed off on me. Thank you for being real and brutally honest. Your advice and guidance has helped me to become more confident in my dancing and life decisions. I hope to work with you again in the future : )
So... What's next for me? As far as my career goes, I want nothing more than to make my childhood dream of becoming a Radio City Rockette come true. I'm hoping to rock their next audition. I am also preparing for my next pageant. In the meantime, I am going to spend time getting to know my family and friends again. I can't wait to cuddle my puppy and go through all of the stuff I bought in my travels. I will get a new headshot and reel together to send out to agencies and do lots of dancing and yoga. I also plan to see my amazing boyfriend which I am already counting down to.
Bye Veendam family!!
