  the hardest part about trying to be the best or being told you are. Is that you push your self so hard that
you never see what you are doing to yourself , the pressure to be skinny to be right on the beat to leap and jump with power. the pressure of being the best isnt a good thing you look at all the girls around you and you have to tell your self your better. i have learned so many things from dance , i learned team work , but  i also learned now looking back that being the best is not everything i learned that if you strive to always be better and always have eyes on you that you miss out on the art you are making. i learned that life is not about trying to impress people its not about thinking you need to be something you are not. life is given to you only once and you should do the things you love. i have always loved to dance but i also had all the pressure to be thin and to be good at what i do to have the highest score . then junior year i hurt my anckle and even though i was told not to dance i did my entire senior year i strived to be the best still and i wanted to keep my title but not knowing that i couldnt do this forever i didnt heal all the way and to this day i let go of my dream of being a dancer in new york and performing classical ballet. it broke my heart i now teach dance , i see dance girls that push them selfs and moms that watch what they eat and i want to tell them to respect them self and to take the time to love dance in thier own way , i love dance and forever will and people still tell me i am one of the best dancers to come through the arts which means alot but i will never live up to the standards that i wanted to live up too for myself and that i regret because i feel lost. people say get back up on your feet and i just might someday put for now i am going to love and teach dance to girls that have the same dream i once did!
