Um, but they did, they did trade a lot for my dance training.

Um, because, you know, at times we couldn't afford it and they wanted so badly for me to go after my dreams.

And so I'm just so thankful that they were able to sacrifice so much for me to, I mean, that's what you do for your kids.

And now having kids, I'm like, you would do anything for them to have, um,

So he did that as well as software development.

And then once the swimwear company kind of took off, they kind of tag teamed that together.

So a very, very hardworking parent and

came from so and creative to think like okay there's other ways of of uh you know other than cold hard cash there are other things we can do and so even just thinking of that like I can take down and put up sets and yep and they just they were just willing to do that for me and it was I'm just so thankful for that and the the example of hard work and perseverance through everything I truly believe if you work hard enough like you can do anything and that's what

You know, I always tell my brothers and sisters who are adults now and just, you know, I'm kind of living proof of that.

Like you can do anything that you set your mind to.

And yeah, they they we had an amazing childhood and very grateful for that.

Like when you start dancing and you know you're going to pursue a dance career, is the goal like let's get to L.A.

?

You know what?

That actually wasn't really in my sight because I feel like it was so scary for me because I've always been – I was born and raised in that small town and I just loved dance.

I loved it so much that I didn't really have sights on TV or film or that wasn't really in my head space.
