A 20-Some-Year-Old
"When I grow up, I want to be a singer and a dancer!" I exclaimed to my father, at the age of 9. "You can't. They don't make any money," father replied. "What makes the world go 'round?" I asked with eyes bright and starry. My East coast native papa replied stiffly, without hesitation, "That's easy. Money." Tears filled my eyes and the words rolled out of my mouth, "no dad! It's love. Please change your mind."
