You're a dance instructor at the local theater. You teach anyone who's willing and interested. When it comes to moving in an articulated, calculated and graceful way, you're the expert. You were hired at seventeen to the job you have now, and you're well-renowned in the dance and theater scene in District Four.

Growing up, your parents tried to get you into career training, but instead, you convinced them to let you pursue dance, which in all actuality, was your passion. Your brothers never quite understood your passion, as your older two brothers went from being careers growing up to now one of them working as a career trainer and the other as a fitness instructor. As for your younger brother, growing up, he was always into running and hiking, and continued to pursue that as an adult.

Some days, you wish your family had similar interests to you, but instead, you have your dance/theater friends, which you suppose is like having a second family anyway. Your best friend, Jacqueline, is the one you've grown closest to over the years. She's around your age and has been into dance and theater even longer than you have. She was your teacher when your started out, and continues to teach you new things even though you're an instructor yourself now.

Your daughter is starting to follow in your footsteps. She's eleven years old and full of the talent of someone ten years older than herself. You admire her, and are glad to support her.
