I few weeks ago I had my friend dance competition. It was an optional competition so hardly anyone was going and was just competing my solo. I was so nervous and honestly I wanted to walk out on stage and do every dance move perfectly. Before I went on stage my dance teacher was backstage with me and gave me a hug and said, “No matter what happens out on that stage I will always be proud of you.” This made me happy as I know he really does care so much about me. I was still so nervous though. When it was finally my turn to go on stage I felt at peace though. I kind of messed up on quite a bit of things though. When I got of stage though I did not know what to think, I was not sure if I was happy about my performance or mad with it. My solo teacher seemed pleased though. My parents were so proud of me but it seems like they always are. At award I was nervous I really wanted to do well. I got eighth place which was an okay placing but I just really wanted to do better and get a higher placing. I wanted to show how hard I had worked so hard on that solo. I just felt defeated.
