I didn't see myself any different from my white counterparts in school. I just didn't! I thought I could do what they did.

I had no idea that they would see me completely different. ↗

It's like any great medicine that works. It tastes absolutely lousy going down, but ultimately helps and heals you. And that's what Juilliard was. Juilliard is classical training. They don't really want to focus on what you do well - that's what got you into the school. They're training you to do other stuff well, which may not come easily to you. ↗
