Final Project – Self-Directed

Performance

This year, I met dancers and performers who left a real mark on me. The way they moved—with such confidence, discipline, and grace—showed me what it means to truly love what you do. I deeply respect people like that—people who give their all, who lift each other, even in the most competitive spaces. Being around them made me want to find that kind of passion and community for myself. This project is my way of reflecting on those moments—quiet, personal, real—and honoring the people who unknowingly inspired me to keep showing up and creating with heart. As a conclusion, I would like to include this quote that’s been ringing in my heart dearly: “When you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life.
