@MomCares @VoiceTeacher @MTVT @soozievt @bisouu @calliene @mom4bwayboy @toowonderful thanks so much for the inspiring advice and comments. This really is what I want so I’m going to spend this summer training in dance, the main area I need to improve in as much as I have the time and money for. I’ve thought a lot about the politics and factors that I have no control over involved in community and high school casting, and I’m going to try to stop basing my confidence off this. Of course, I do need to keep improving and that’s what I hope to do with the few years I have before I audition for schools.
This will be a lot of work but I do believe that I have the dedication for it…now I need to get used to rejection before college and do everything I can to improve my skills 
good for you @cactus3! Keep working and growing, and most of all believe in yourself!!
You go, @cactus3! Don’t let a few molehills - our mountains - stand in your way.
