I don' think there's a single girl in the world who didn't dream of being a ballerina when she was younger, or if she was a tomboy early on (don't worry I was a tomboy from third grade until 6th), who didn't have a dream they'd stay up late watching shows and documentaries on. I remember my favorite aunt took all of us girls with my Mother to see our very first ballet in a huge fancy theatre. I was about four or five at the time and I thought it was all very dull until the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy began. Then I couldn't sit far enough forward in my chair or take my eyes off the ballerina and her feet that didn't even seem to be touching the ground. After that I was hooked, I was devoted to ballet the way some children were devoted to building sandcastles or making castles out of macaroni and glue. I danced ballet with my sister's every day after school instead of lingering in the sand box with my classmates after school but I couldn't have been any happier.

I didn't continue long enough to make a career out of it that's the funny thing with this world sometimes thing don't turn out the way you planned but I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for ballet. If I ever have the means and the chance I'd love to be able to slip on my ballet shoes again.
