The-Path-of-my-Life

What am I going do to next?

I just finished college I have a field of study in the dance program at the cegep of Sherbrooke. I always have a purpose about becoming a professional dancer. When I was a little girl I practiced every day in my room, in front of a mirror repeating the same movements again and again. I always had straight A's when it was about dance. My major goal is to dance in a dance company, I want to turn my passion into a career. My motivation came from the freedom I feel whenever I dance, and I want to pull off my dream. I know the path is going to be demanding, but I am excited about my future and of course a little nervous about it. Right now I'm wondering if I should take a year off to start an intense training or apply to a prestigious dance school?

Choice 1 : Intense Training.

Choice 2 : Apply to a prestigious dance school.

Intense Training.

I choose to take a year off and really focusing on my training, my strength etc. I love to push my limits but at the same time I can feel that my body is tired. I can feel that my muscles are shaking. Do I push too much? Do I have a low endurance? Yes maybe I did push to hard I can feel the exhaustion so bad.

Apply to a Prestigious Dance School.

I apply at the best dance school in Quebec. I feel I would fall in love with the school, is going do be my second home. But the problem is that it is really expensive, I pay for my study now that I am 18 years old. The lessons are high cost and if I pay for everything I need to work more, a lot more. Now that I am thinking about that I feel stress.

Choice 1 : Work at a Coffee Shop.

Choice 2 : Apply to a Scholarship.

Coffee Shop.

I started to work at this little coffee shop, and I loveeee it so much. It's so calm, bright, it's a happy place. All day I see some students study at my coffee shop, they seem stress, tired, and overwhelm. I'm looking at them, and it makes me think that : do I need pressure now in my life? No I feel good here. I'm really thinking about opening my own coffee shop, why not? I completely fell in love of being a barista, and I want to do that for the rest of my life. Start again.

Choice 1 : Start again

Apply to a Scholarship.

I apply at a scholarship. And I can feel that there is some competition between other dancers. They are some more flexible dancer compare to me, and they are pretty confident about themselves. I king of feel small, and intimidated. But I need discipline and not a lack of confidence to make it work, I believe in me. I know they are some high expectations here, so I better make it work.

Choice 1 : Make attitude to other dancers

Choice 2 : Be confident and kind to others

Been Mean was the Best Idea?

I did no think before being mean to other dancers. I feel bad why did I do that? And now I know 100% that I'm going to be kicked out of school...

Kindness is the Best Way.

I finally made new friends I feel so good here, I feel that I found my people, and my place. There is a big show that is coming up, and I need to be 100% good on stage. I have known that it's going to be endless rehearsals, that they are gonna be hard on the body and that they are gonna end late, but should I tell my teacher that I have back pain since 1 week just in precaution or leave it like that and to say nothing to her?

Choice 1 : Tell my Teacher about my Back Pain.

Choice 2 : Say Nothing.

Tell my Teacher about my Back Pain.

I tell her, and it was the best decision. She was so kind to me, I don't know why I hesitated. She was so comprehensive, and she told me that her to her back is not in the best condition, but the best thing to do is to stretched every night before going to bed or even the morning when I woke u. We have an audition that is coming up, and I need to be in the best condition, it is the biggest opportunity of my life. Should I listen to my teacher or no I'll be fine and just set aside the situation.

Choice 1 : Listen to my Teacher.

Choice 2 : Don't Listen.

Listen to my Teacher.

I feel so good, my back is way better. Today is the big day, when I arrived at the audition I felt small in my pants. The judges are scary, I'm wondering if they can smile. There are a lot of people A LOT. I need to impress the judges, I need to be the best one in the room. But I feel weird, my heart is pounding so fast, I'm sweaty, what do I do?

Choice 1 : Take a deep breath

Choice 2 : Ignore the Situation and try to Focus.

Hospital.

The doctors said I shouldn't have missed out on a burn like that and that it would take several weeks before I could dance again. Plus, I saw that I wasn't taking for the dance contract. I'm so angry at life, but at the same time I know that things happen for a reason: maybe it wasn't my year? But I know that it doesn't define I am worthwhile, and I know I can work hard again. Maybe next year I'm would be part of a big dance contract, who knows?

The Biggest Day of my Life.

I am now dancing with pop stars, this contract was the biggest opportunity of my life and I can't still believe I got the chance to be a part of it. I am so proud of myself, and I know it is just the beginning of a new chapter.
