RazzleberryPie April 5, 2016 Share April 5, 2016 Melissa is definitely smart, but a lot of these girls take the minimum 12 hours to be a full time student (or less) and stretch college for Five or six years. Also, so much is online now, that you can knock out a class in a couple of weeks. Cassie was one of the girls who changed majors several times and was basically a general studies student over several years. Not sure if she graduated. My point is that being a 'student' is a really broad definition and not quite the same as someone taking 18 hours all in classrooms. DCC is time consuming, but Melissa is one of the exceptions to the rule in taking really difficult classes and juggling DCC, show group, etc. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/48016-current-dccs-my-boots-do-the-talking/page/51/#findComment-2116601

Just to be devil's advocate, saying Melissa works hard for taking difficult classes, being in DCC and SG as well as teaching classes is difficult and requires lots of multi-tasking isn't saying single mom's taking care of kids, working FT and taking classes is easy. Multi-tasking lots of commitments is difficult regardless of what the commitments are, and each path done well is worthy of praise. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/48016-current-dccs-my-boots-do-the-talking/page/51/#findComment-2117849

Dancing lasts a short time while her medical engineering studies will last a lifetime. So more power to her! Nicol Bush was a DCC in the 1990's who is a County Surgeon. http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/health/Former-Dallas-Cowboys-Cheerleader-Now-Collin-County-Surgeon-326556691.html Makes me wonder what Melissa and Amy T will be doing in 10, 15 years.

I'll hold off on giving a cheerleader praise for taking classes. I don't think she gets praise just for taking classes, but I think its the fact that she is/was taking (and received a degree I believe) classes in a very difficult major. An engineering degree is difficult for students who don't work on the side and just go to school. Many people I know got weeded out by junior year - kind of like all of those people who were pharmacy majors freshmen year but definitely were no longer chemistry majors after attempting organic chemistry. So of course, she's not doing the most difficult thing in the world, but I don't think she's shouldn't be praised just because there are other people are also doing more difficult things.

This is the ultimate dream for most of the girls and you can guarantee they're probably going to do whatever it takes. Just like a single mother would do for their child. DCC is their baby, their baby that involves hours of exercise, skipping indulgences, honing their technique, and dealing with haters that want to scrutinize every piece of them. But lucky for them, they get to go on the field, meet celebrities, and go to any club they want, and walk through the many doors DCC opens.
