Some may think a silly dance audition could not possibly mean this much to someone. Yes, there are far more difficult situations out there. My big brother endured a brain stem tumor as a child, and had to fight past the age of nine; he survived. My aunt was just recently diagnosed with breast cancer. She is fighting for her life with each day; she will survive.
Any procedure you go through in life, you need someone to back you. Fortunately, I had my family: My grandmother, whom is my biggest fan. My mother, whose honesty kept me in check the entire time; and my grandfather's faith.
I may have not been the best of the best, but I was what the team was looking for this year, and I am more than grateful to be honored with a spot on the team. The squad was opened up to 11 new members for the 2010-2011 year. I had a four percent chance of making the team when I walked through the doors of the Dana Farber Field house on Feb. 20, but this did not scare me.
I will be joining 24 elite ladies in the Dominican Republic at the end of the month to shoot our 2011 swimsuit calendar. Do I belong in this small group? I am not sure, but I am going to work to prove that those judges made the right decision, and I will never forget the almost impossible process I went through to get where I am today.
