Smile Anything is possable

One of my daughters friends from recovery has accomplished sooo much. She is in NA, has an eating disorder, and has had bladder cancer that has reacurred for the 4th time. She is 22 years old. She has been dancing since she was 10 years old. Her cancer first showed when whe was 18 then every three months after for 2 times. Then again this last year. She is from a different state but is up here for college.

Tonight we went to see her first "professional" dance. She has been doing alot of dancing with the school & outside things that were more for experence. But tonight she got her first check. It was a sold out show. People ended up sitting on the floor when they ran out of seats. She and the dance company did an amazing job. It was beautiful. She is in her last year of college & will graduate with a bachlors in psyciatry, and a bachors in dance. She hopes to go to NYC (where the dance company is from) in the spring.

Just goes to show you where there's a will there's a way.

What an inspiration she is to live life well, no matter how many hurdles we have to overcome.

Thank you for sharing this. I can picture her wonderful spirit shining through as she danced and let her dream come true.
