preparation time- everything happens for a reason


I think I was still 17 , senior year in high school in Poland, Starachowice. Lost , completely lost girl constantly searching for a bright goal in life. What i knew is I love dancing and I'm pretty good at school. Who i want to be , what am I gonna do with my life, where I want to go? All people around you expecting you to know the answears for all that questions when your 15 as you need to peak certain subjects at school and so on. What If I just simply don't know... I'm getting older and I still don't know. So I just swam with the tide. followed the path,  the one that is well known in Poland as the only proper one , finish high school with great results get to the top University , move from hometown to study, whatever it is but get your higher education. I knew back then that the best option would be to take a year off, and figure my life. My parents sent me to school one year earlier. I felt like it's perfect option to get my "stolen" childchood year back and use that wisely. But exams were over. Results came. I did well. I made it all the way to be on a list of law students at the top university in Poland. It was close to the deadline of confirming decision regarding university, when my mum came to my room asking "so what's the plan ?". And here I am, havent been dancing for 10 months, fat as whale (try not to get fat when all you do is studying) , learning how to live again, when suddenly you don't have to learn 24/7. And she's keeping asking "Do you have money for that trip?", "Where you're going to stay ?" "What you're going to do for whole year?". At this point I didn't have any plan, ANY idea of how could that work. So yes, I choosed the option of starting my "adult" life as a law student with one positive aspect - living in a capital city supported by parents, and what's the most important finally beeing able to dance in Warsaw.
And guess what, sitting now on a porch of Rickys' Palomino apartment in down town Hollywood I don't regret any of that. I guess I am exactly where Im suppose to be. I've worked hard all that year with finally some goal in my head - Im gonna take a deans leave and go to US, I made money as a dance teacher, saved every złoty, met amazing inspiring people who offered me to go and work with them in USA ( i need to mention them Ricky Palomino, Lindsey Briggs, Teresa Ann Volgenau, ), finished the university year earlier by passing all exams in earlier terms and finally... booked flights.
I had no clue how exactly it's gonna work, seriously, but though , I was surprisingly calm. I just knew 1. This is the right path, maybe not right i don't like that word , but MY path, this is what I want to and have to do and 2. That out there are poeple who somehow want to help me with that.

Thats a huge , extremely huge digest of my preparation time, but those who were with me during that period know all details, others - I believe it's a long enough introduction.

Let me finish this post with a qoute of Ayn Rand. For those who have some ideas, dreams they haven't make real yet and also just because it fits my life experiences perfectly :

"The question isn't who is going to let me ;
it's who is going to stop me..."

ps   I'm not trying to play smart ass here it's seriously quote from a cup im drinking coffe in

PEACE
