LYDIA PAEK | ALL GROWN

Little story . It was 2008 and I've been out of college for about 2 years , worked in a bank for about 1 year and been dancing for 7 years . Even though I was dancing on two teams while working at the bank at this point , I was going to call it quits on the late night rehearsals and concentrate on work . It was then that Lydia invited me to come session with Quest Crew at the Quest learning center down the street from my house . That course of action completely changed how my life turned out. I've known the Quest guys individually for a couple of years now , but it wasn't until Lydia (who i've known for a while now) invited me to go session with them that's led me to where I am today . 

She's a multi talented Singer , writer , dancer , artist that is just killin' the game right now . Its been a long way since she was the girl I had to pick up to practice because she couldn't drive yet , and i'm proud and thankful that we are still friends .

Cheers
