Misty Copeland’s destiny was not to be a ballerina. At least, that’s what the letters from various ballet schools would indicate:
Dear Candidate,
Than you for your application to our ballet academy. Unfortunately you have not been accepted. You lack the right feet, Achilles tendons, turnout, torso length, and bust. You have the wrong body for ballet and, at 13 you are too old to be considered.
But will trumps fate. Today, Misty is a solo ballerina with the American Ballet Theater.
