“For a long time I didn't know what I wanted or what I loved to do. Friends had that blessing and I remember thinking when I would have my turn. Then, in 9th Grade I sort of fell into playing Danny Zuko randomly in that years GREASE themed portion of the dance show. The moment I hit the stage I think something in me knew. Even in rehearsals. I'd fallen in Love.” ThinkingKnowsYearsLongMomentsShowsWantedRememberTurnsStageBlessingLong TimeFallenGradesPortionsRehearsalGrease Author:E.J. Bonilla
“For a while I felt like I spoke a different language than my immediate family. It wasn't until my teens that I met and got to know better members of my extended family (my cousin Alma in particular) that self- identified as artists. Something in us clicked together; in the way we thought, in the language we chose to use, in what we enjoyed. She helped me see and appreciate a lot both about myself and my loved ones.” KnowsWayDifferentSelfUseTogetherArtistLanguageFeltParticularMetsMembersAppreciateEnjoyedSpokesLoved OnesTeensCousinMy CousinDifferent LanguagesExtended FamilyImmediate Family Author:E.J.
