[Retrospective, with flashbacks] One hundred percent, the journey to get here was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. My journey started last year. I got through finals, and then I was honestly expecting to hear my name called to go to training camp, and then I didn’t. It kind of threw off my instincts. But I still knew that I was coming back, and this is where I wanted to be. This year, I had to come in with no expectations. Oh my gosh, I could cry thinking about them calling my name. I was so happy. And then training camp starts. I’ve never danced that fast in my life, and my brain has never been more overloaded. I did get a lot of critiques and attention. It was what I needed to keep me motivated because I knew exactly what I needed to do to make the team. And I was able to work on it. This process definitely makes you doubt yourself. There were times where I was not the nicest to myself. I’m wondering, with all my training and with all my experience, why am I struggling? I just wanted to be so good. And that was when I had my big breakthrough. It was like music to my ears. I just felt happy that they knew that I was working hard. Seeing all 35 girls running and screaming towards me, I will remember that for the rest of my life., As she was about to give up on dance, she got an email asking her to come out to Guam and dance in a magic show. For the next year of her life, she lived on a tropical island making more money than she was making in New York. The DCC sisterhood has always inspired her., Meredith was and is a fan favorite and I love her. Unfortunately she just couldn’t grasp the DCC style and has always struggled. You could tell that she was improving and actively trying as you said which just made it even sadder to watch..
