Her mother, envisioning a future for Alma as a ballet prodigy, enrolled her in dance classes at a prestigious studio.As Alma's passion for ballet grew, her parents made the decision to homeschool her at the age of five. They believed it was imperative for her to dedicate ample time to perfecting her ballet skills. She flourished in her dance endeavors, landing significant roles in various ballet productions, often due to her parents' financial influence within the ballet community.However, as Alma's talent and popularity soared, so did the envy and resentment of other parents whose children were overshadowed.

Her parents' frustration escalated, culminating in a dramatic shift when they hired a Russian ballet instructor known for her stringent and harsh teaching methods.Under the tutelage of the Russian instructor, Alma's life took a darker turn. The training became grueling, both physically and mentally. The instructor's relentless critique of her technique and body flaws left scars, pushing Alma to endure intense pain and criticism.

A small celebration with her parents eventually unraveled when she accidentally uncovered her mother's infidelity, shattering the semblance of their perfect life.

The revelations of betrayal and loss left her emotionally bruised and mentally drained.In the wake of her father's passing, Alma inherited a substantial sum of money and a property.
