If I Could Meet Any Famous Person...

If I could meet any famous person, I would want to meet Misty Copeland. Misty Copeland is an amazing dancer who can be seen performing in the new Under Armor advertisement for "I WILL WHAT I WANT". Misty Copeland started dancing at age 13. Misty tried several times to apply to different dance academies. They all told her that she did not have the right body type for dancing because she started dancing at an older age. They said that if she had began sooner, she would have been able to develop the dancer's body. Now, she is a very well known dancer in the United States. She is now a part of the American Ballet and is an idol for young dancers. I look up to Misty Copeland because she faced many struggles. She was told that she simply would never be able to dance because she started at age 13. I have been dancing since I was 2 or 3 years old. Starting at such a young age gave me an advantage, but it is still very hard for me to do some the choreography that is taught to the class. I can't begin to imagine the struggles that Misty Copeland went through on her rise to success. All I know is that she is a great role model and is highly admired. She teaches people that no matter what struggles you face, you can always do better than what others expect out of you. If it is something you are really passionate about, do it. Do not let anything hold you back.
