Essential Data
Who
One day soon, everyone will know my name.
What
journalist, scholar, poet, singer, dancer, student, teacher?
When
When you’re this impulsive, the question of “when” never really applies.
Where
Typically I can’t discern whether I’m coming or going. Guess my answer has to be “right here.”
Why
Because when I was growing up, everyone told me to do something scholarly. I should do something scholarly with my life. Be a doctor, a lawyer, a writer, a professor. Never mind if I wanted to be a ballerina — I was too smart for it. There came a point when I decided to be everything. Ballerina included.
How
Balance and discipline. It’s been rough, believe me. Hey, wait, aren’t I supposed to be the one asking these questions?
