Sam Tabahriti
- I joined a circus school in France in 2015 and worked as a circus performer for a year.
- I now work as a reporter at Insider, and I earn more and have much better job stability.
- Working as a performer is about more than just the money, however.
Defying gravity and throwing my body through the air was once how I made my living.
From a young age, I would walk around the house on my hands and do cartwheels and front handsprings — whether indoors or out — at any opportunity.
When I was 13, I joined a gymnastics club and fell in love with acrobatics. A couple of years later, I also realized I loved dancing.
