TAP had always been my escape. Even if a few of the people who hurt me were in the program, it never mattered enough. During the week I was a lonely mistreated kid. But on Saturdays, oh I was everything. A dancer, a singer, an actor, I was everything I wanted to be. It helped me realized just how badly I wanted to perform as a career, it helped me get rid of my stage fright. It even helped me make friends despite my social phobia. And for the first time in a long time they are really good friends. It sickens me that a program made to uplift those less fortunate is being cut off. If Princeton is for everyone then why not us? What did we do that makes us undeserving? What did any of the programs do? I will support this fight any way I can, not just for TAP but for other programs too. I can’t watch something so beautiful die because of greed. TAP is my home away from home. I’m not letting it die.
