My Dream Of Becoming A Ballet Dancer

The weather cleared up and me, along with my entire class and teachers, got to enjoy a beautiful ceremony. Lining up we started to proceed out to the football stadium from the gymnasium, my mind would not stop thinking. I just could not stop remembering what it took for me to get to this day. The stress that I endured studying for the SAT, filling out my applications and most importantly, perfecting my essay. The idea that I was not going to be living in this beautiful town I have spent my life in, brought a flood of emotions. Thoughts of my friends not being by my side next year made me feel as if I was sinking into a deep hole; this place, this town has had so much to offer to me. The past two years that I had spent in this place were the most emotional and exciting times of my life. I knew even though I was not going to be waking up in my familiar place anymore, I would be waking up in what was to become my new familiar place. I knew that even though my friends would not physically be there with me every day, that they would be there when I called them. If it were not for all of the people I have met along the way, I do not think I would have ended up where I am today. It just is a common thought for whenever I get sad about everything ending, I remind myself that there is a new beginning coming and it is going to be amazing. The place that I have spent my whole life

When she does speak to others, her father is skeptical of what she has said. This is evident on their bus ride to Bend when she engages in a harmless conversation with the women sitting next to her. Her father tells her “you were talking to that lady sitting next to you. She is watching us. What did you tell her?”

I have been dancing since the age of two. When asked about my career aspirations, there is no hesitation before saying “I want to be a dancer.” Being a dancer means putting all other distractions aside, and focusing on my craft. Currently, I dedicate over forty hours a week to dance, which is a schedule that requires sacrifice. When I am dancing, the rest of the world fades away, slipping out of my mind with relaxed importance. For that moment in time, I am completely free, wholly focused on my goals, letting me know dance is what I’m meant to do. With this realization comes a responsibility to myself and the work I have put into improving my craft thus far, and I know I must seek out the best opportunities for growth and continued learning.

For one of the few times in my life, I let myself down. At my interview for Phillips Exeter, the admissions director asked me how I would face disappointment, given that it would surely occur over the next four years. I thought I knew, but as it turns out, I overestimated my abilities to face it head on. During those first two years, disappointment hurt me. By concentrating on that period of time, you would perceive me incorrectly. But please know this: I am stronger than ever, more aware of my ability to overcome something that hit me

“What do you think you are doing, Sarah? How could you do something like that! I ought to call Grandfather! No, your mother. How could you?”

“Tell me something Alessandra. What happened to the man who shot your husband?” I realize she’s a woman with connections and I don’t see her as someone to let something like that go without retribution.

I danced for 12 years at a professional ballet company. Five of those years, I trained under the instruction of a director named Elie. He yelled incessantly, was bad-tempered, and could make a room full of people cry faster than you would ever think possible. However, despite his shortcomings, Elie was a brilliant instructor.

Playing the violin is one of my best talents. First, I had to practice a numerous amount of minutes to make it to where I am. Second, it’s a great way to meet new people. Lastly, I couldn’t have done it without my Mom. Playing the violin is one of my skills, I worked hard, became more social, and got supported by my Mom.

It’s just another letter, it is going to be something like an affair, teenagers resenting their parents, or maybe second thoughts of getting married. It is nothing new, something I haven’t put in my column a million times before. As I open the letter, I notice it was not from a parent, mistress, husband, wife, an adult nevertheless. The

I was confused by my friend’s behavior and odd request. “Here,” I said handing her the machine. “YOU decide how much you want to give,” and I walked away.

“There was this little girl I knew in Chicago, she came to me and asked for money, at the time, I did not know why she needed money but when she did I gave her what I had. Then later a week after she started collecting money I found her parent dead, they jumped of their roof of their house. They had a note in their pocket and I read it.” I sadly acknowledged.

There is no better feeling than making another person happy through my own hard work and dedication, and I have experienced that euphoric feeling as a result of my volunteer work throughout my high school career. Having participated and been a leader in many service projects and activities, I have been constantly inspired to continue my dedication to helping others. I want to make a difference in people’s lives and, in turn, be inspired by the happiness and optimism of the individuals I will encounter.

I started ballet when I was 5 years old. At first I did not want to join ballet. But my mom forced me to join. When I tried out, I was really enjoying the class. But I did not want to show that I did enjoy it.

Accomplishments happen all the time in our lives. No matter what you do or how you do it, these accomplishments help shape us into who we are today. Personally my accomplishment in my life is through the power of dance. Dance has shaped me to be the bold and powerful person I am today. The world of dance has been able to make me conquer anything that life decides to throw at me.
