I was getting ready to perform at my very first Grammy Award Show! I already walked on the red carpet, I was nervous so as I walked along and stopped so the paparazzi could take my picture. I closed my eyes to take the pictures. All I heard was, click, click, boom! The paparazzi yelling, "a little the left, to the right, over the shoulder!" So many flashing lights. I'm glad I made it through that. I was set to perform third. I was becoming more and more nervous as it was getting close! What if I failed? What if I forgot the lyrics to my own song or the choreography. Now, I'm okay with tripping, tripping is okay! Whatever happens, no matter how embarrassing, I'm gonna get back up and do what I do! I've been planning this performance ever since I was 17 years old! I'm not 24 and I'm finally going to perform my dream! My dream performance was always to perform at the Grammy Awards, and I would have the stage built like my bedroom and then turn into the bathroom, where for years I pretended it to be my stage. It was time for me to perform. I hit the stage, I started off slow with a medley of the songs, "Dreaming of You," a classical version of "Just Dance," a acapella version of "Born This Way," then I performed song "Difference is Beauty," but I started it off slow, I ended my performance with a piano version of "Applause!" This performance was just a "thank you" to all the artists that have inspired me and made me who I am. Everyone cheered for me! I got off stage, someone had spilled water and I didn't see it and slipped. I woke up, I was no longer in L.A., I was back in my old home, in my bed. It was all just a dream...it was all just a dream.
