I'd like to believe in things happening for a reason, but some mistakes in my past seem to have led to more pain in my present life. When I was eight I received a scholarship to a prestigious ballet school in my city. I didn't really comprehend how lucky I was, and I only was happy to join my friends who were already at the school. I missed the first week due to scheduling conflicts, and my first day at the school during the second was hell. I remember crying and begging my mom to let me quit, and, even though she warned me that I'd regret it, she took me out of the class.
10 years later I feel the impact of my decision. I realized how much I wanted to pursue dance in some way, but I don't have the experience other dancers my age have. I lost out in an audition, which was a real blow. I take dance classes whenever I can, but I feel inadequate and I can't help wondering what would have happened had I stuck it out at the ballet school. Can someone PLEASE let me know why this happened?
