Summary:Whether it be financial security or career progression, the success of the artist was dependent on the audience's reaction, which represented an unacceptable uncertainty in my community. Interestingly, despite my affinity for dance performances, I seemed to avoid them. Clara was a 23-year-old professional ballet dancer who after graduating from high school achieved her dream of performing on Broadway. With calm eyes she projected an outward tranquility that contrasted with the tumult of beeping alarms and scurrying healthcare workers who surrounded her. Excited by this glimmer of hope, we quickly collected a blood sample only to learn that due to logistical issues, it could not be delivered that day. Since I heard about the results, I've been figuring out how to move my stufffrom New York City so I can stay around for the treatment and then start college so I can get a real job.
