I don’t really have a “greatest moment” because I find myself wanting to write everything I’ve ever done or experienced. I do, however, have a moment that I don’t think I’ll ever forget. I have always had an ability to dance but I hated the classes I took for a week because it was too structured and all I wanted to do was move. I love being myself and expressing it through dancing and to this day I wish to be able to be able to do a leg extension as I can’t seem to train myself to do it. I would always get distracted with the lyrics of a speaker shattering rap song. Hip hop has a way of telling a story and setting my joints on fire. While at homecoming this year, after my transformation summer, I was able to be myself. As we were getting our “groove” on, a song I previously learned all the words to came on (I just about freaked out). My friends know that I can dance and they experienced it the night before so they knew that I would go all out. They stepped aside and made a way for me and for the first time ever I showed all my friends a performance I’ve always wanted to do. Some other people, including teachers, got the chance to see as well. While it wasn’t the greatest moment of my life it was one that I won’t soon forget. It was a confidence booster because previously, I haven’t been comfortable enough with myself to show everyone what I can do. I am capable of a lot and I do have talent but I realized it’s a hobby. I don’t want to be a dancer for my career because I just don’t have the patience nor do I have the training. I will always love music, even more so as I do now, because I find that as time goes on I love music even more.
Stepping out and being myself is something to file under “greatest moments”.
