Not only did the hospital help him fight his way back to basic movement but now hes back to dancing competitively. Sophomore by day and an artist in his free time did something he got into a few years ago much to his mother surprise. I was shocked. He started out kind of playing around with it and then it got really serious and one day he told me i have a video shoot. Hes been featured in music videos they know me by carly mouth.
