In this blog I will be writing about a scene from my past which means I rewrite a part of my life that happened a long time ago just so you know which is gonna be hard not because I don't know how to write it but because there are so many things that have happened to me good like being accepted into Delaware County Community College ( DCCC ) to the bad like my parents divorcing and moving on with other people but Imma keep it positive for this blog. In this blog I will be telling about when I use to live in Lubbock Texas and how I started dancing at 15 Here is a podcast I listened to help me better understand how to write a story from my past What You Don't Know (Lulu Wang) Should I dance or should I go? There are lots of things I wanted to do in life like graduate high school, go sky diving, swim with sharks (yes I am that type of person) and maybe write my own fiction novels like Stephine Meyer, Richelle Mead, and Stephine Perkins but the one thing I never saw myself doing is dancing!!!!! Like no not in like a million years I cant dance I look stupid even trying to dance. So why on gods green earth would I dance? or even try to dance? or take a dance class? But somehow I let my best friend Caylie convince me otherwise. " I am so excited to be starting this class arn't you? " Caylie says all happy go lucky I looked at her annoyed " No not really, explain to me again why I let you talk me into doing this stupid class?" " Because its better than dealing with tennis couches" Caylie says cheerfully" " ok yes I get that, But what I don't get is why you dragged me into this?" I say whining She stops dead in her tracks and a huge smile spreads across her face " There it is the dance room " she says with so much excitement I make an face and say " Ya I can really smell the dance which smells a lot like the football players after practice, sweat masked with two cans of Axe body spray" She looks at me now annoyed and says " Can you at least try to sound excited this is a new thing for both us who knows it might be good for us?" "Or it can be really bad and I could get seriously injured then I cant walk correctly for months then my parents will sue the school for me getting hurt then it will go live then they shut the dance class down all because you forced me into doing this" I say as serious and concerned as possible She looks at me and starts laughing " your so dramatic and have such an imagination" She opens the door and we walk in , and of course it smells like gym class but with mirrors on three of the four walls with railings across the mirrors that took up the whole wall " Well at least I always a mirror to fix my hair and make up in " I say sarcastically She looks at me and says " Really? your hair and face are not the most thing in the world" I ignore her comment and look around the room seeing girls are coming out of the changing room, others are stretching on the cold, but very dirty marble floor and other stretch using the bar. I see one girl bring her leg up to her head while standing up I nudge caylie in the arm and say " Did you see that she brought her leg to her head, umm ya I'm really in the wrong class" She rolled her eyes at me and said " Oh come on she has probably been dancing for years so that's how she can do that" " Well it seems painful just looking at it" I say to her concerned " Can you just relax and see what the class is like before you judge it, who knows you might love it and wanna do it for the rest of high school" she says annoyed again " Or I'll hate it, and hate you for it " I say jokingly The teacher comes over and tells us to go get dressed because class is starting soon. We go and change and by the time we come out the class is already stretching. We join the stretching and by the time that was over my body was sore and we hadn't even started dancing yet. The teacher starts teaching the dance and as I danced and practiced it over and over every day I fell in love with it I danced all through out high school and once I moved to Austin and started my new school I joined my school's dance team and I performed multiple times at our dance shows that we had three times a year plus during half time at the homecoming football game every year. I was happy I finally found something I was good at and that made me feel like I could do anything. I don't dance anymore but I do dance just to enjoy the music and relive my dance days. Dancing made me a whole new person and showed me not to be afraid to show people what I could do.

The length of your dread really emphasizes your feelings. And your emotion change at the end adds relief that was worth it.

That is really cool that you found something you love accidentally.
