A Childhood Dream It seems as if it was yesterday‚ I was at home standing on my couch with a fake microphone in my hand. I would sing‚ or rather yell‚ to the lyrics of “Thriller” by heart with no intention of stopping. Yet today‚ although singing is undoubtedly not my forte‚ I still find the happiness and sense of freedom I felt on that couch with the microphone in my hand.

Childhood Memories As a child‚ I loved glamour; from dolls‚ to makeup‚ to high-heel shoes‚ and princess gowns. The only dolls I would play with had to have hair. And the reason why is because I loved‚ and still do love doing hair. I would literally sit my dolls in a line and talk to them like they were my clients in a salon.
