A Moment of Encouragement

This year while I was preparing for the 2012 Burlingame Studios of Dance Recital I was overloaded with stress. We had to preform all the dances we had done for the past year. The weeks leading up to the recital were not the best but when it came to the week of, I was tested. This year at the recital I was to perform 10 numbers. This included Ballet, Pointe, 3 Jazz, 2 Lyrical, Tap, Hip-hop, and my Solo. The week of the recital we had our normal practice, Monday and Wednesday, but then we had an extra rehearsal Tuesday, then dress rehearsal Thursday and the show Friday and Saturday. The whole week I was continuing to work on finishing my solo, witch I should have had done a lot sooner, and kept thinking to myself I wasn't ready. While all these extra practices were going on I had to work VBS at my church, New Hope Baptist, from 8:30 to noon. I thought I was going to die. Monday through Wednesday were fine, No problem! But Thursday I went to babysit after VBS till 4 and the dress rehearsal started at 6. Not a good day. At that point I was like this can't happen but my Mom and my best friend continuously told me that I had work very hard throughout the year and I could do it, Even if I had to chose not to work VBS that Friday Morning. Luckly the teacher I was working with for VBS was My best friend's mom. So Friday I just slept in late and when to the stage early so I wouldn't be rushed and everything was perfect! After the show my friends and family told me I did amazing! So after that Saturday night was a breeze!
