Vision Day: One Fellow’s Perspective

NEW HAVEN – Today on Vision Day, I was inspired. Whenever asked my passion, I would say dance because that’s just what I always did and just do. There were always other things I secretly loved and hoped for, also things I just had a knack for. So today has made me 100% sure of what I want to do for my Future Project, and 99% sure of what I want to do with the rest of my life.  I love kids, specifically ones with disabilities. I love the feeling of guiding people not for the glory or the praise I might get, but to see smiles on young faces.

So I want to start…

Every Star Will Shine. Without Laura Winnick and the Future Project, I wouldn’t have known I had a passion deeper than dance. I also wouldn’t have known what I want to spend my life doing. I feel as though, if you’re going to choose a job, it should be a job that makes your passion be a part of bringing our world into a brighter new world that we have to create. Thank  you, Future Project.

Every Star Will Shine, an organization, will promote the many talents of disabled kids and give them hope through a series of arts classes.  Since my passion is dance, at first I wanted to focus on dance, but I dream to expand to more passions, because everyone has a dream and everyone has a hope.
