Final Essay
Ever since I was young, I have been exposed to different kinds of experiences. Each of these experiences has brought a new life lesson. My mother has always encouraged me to do what I love, so during high school, in 8th grade I attended to a school called The Grier School in Altoona Pennsylvania, which specializes in dance and horse back riding. In this school I meet a variety of people that really made me grow as a person. Of all these new people that I met, the one that has left the biggest mark was my favorite dance teacher Jocelyn Hrzic. She is a person that I really admire, she was a professional dancer in New York city, after she got married she injured herself in a dance competition and had to stop dancing, so she moved back to her husband’s hometown, Altoona.
When we first arrived at school they made us audition so that the teachers could see which level was the indicated for us. My friends considered getting me involved in a more competitive class, so I auditioned for the competition team. The auditions went extremely well and I got into the advance competition team. It demanded long hours of training and really made me suffer, dancing was the only activity in the afternoons that I was able to do while in school. We started dance classes the week after. Attending classes I realized that the advance class was really too much for me, I was not used to that kind of commitment to dance. When the days passed by, I noticed that I was not really enjoying what I loved the most, so I talked to Mrs. Hrzic and I moved to the intermediate dance level. Even though I moved from advanced to intermediate she never stopped pushing me, she still yelled at me and made me do more advanced steps than my intermediate classmates were able to do. My intermediate classmates were surprised that Jocelyn made me do different steps from theirs, they all began to dislike me and say awful things behind my back.
