Mar. 13, 2009 - Memories
Tonight we are watching the Nutcracker for a history assignment. Well we have to copies of the Nucracker, both of them with me in it. One as a mouse, and the other (the one we're watching) as a Snowflake and a Flower.
Well the one we're watching happened in December of 2002. That year I actually signed up for it, the first time I was only in it because the girl who did what ended up being my part hurt her ankle a month before we were supposed to perform it. Well The girl who hurt her ankle was a great deal taller than I was and had a equally tall soldier, I was dwarfed. Well during rehersals in 2002, on the day of November 16, the rehersals were taped. Well a couple days later, after a dance class I over heard a girl talking about " how sad what happened to Amy". Amy (she was a Mormon) had several main parts and was a vital part in the dance company. I asked the dance teacher what had happened to Amy. She told me Amy had been killed in a car accident coming home from Springfield. I didn't know her real well, but there was one day when we were sitting around waiting for the next class and Mom (she told me after the fact) felt she should talk to her and she didn't. For some reason when dad picked me up and drove me home I sobbed the entire way home. This was someone I looked up to and she just died. It was one of the first deaths I had to deal with.
There is an AIM song that fits the relationship I had with her, that of a watching from a distance hoping I would be like her some day. I haven't gone to a ballet class in almost four years I regret it but, shortly before I stopped my mom's dad died. That made yet another reason to just stop dancing. I did but I shouldn't of.
I guess the point of this post would be to say " If God wills drop your dream but if it's anything else don't stop.
