what would life be like?

I wonder sometimes what my life would be like if I didn’t have to go to school and I could just focus on dance. Without distractions, how far would I get? Could I make it in the dance world? I had this opportunity last year. I was accepted to attend the Harid Conservatory, a ballet school in Florida. I would have taken school online and danced all day long. But how could I leave my family? How could I give up my education? Now a year and a half later I’m wondering how on earth could I not of given all this up to pursue what I love.

Instead of worrying about what college to go to, I could be worrying about which company to dance with. I would be living with a group of girls who all share the love of ballet. Everyone would understand and appreciate what ballet dancers do. I would be living five minutes away from the Boca Raton Beach, and my life would be drama free. But I would be missing out on high school experiences. That is why I chose to stay- high school experiences. Well, let me tell you what a letdown all that is. Let’s just say it’s not like it is in the movies.

I would like to think my life would be stress free dancing all day and laying out at the beach on the weekends, but I know that’s not realistic. There is probably fierce competition between the dancers at Harid. And I would sleep, eat, dance, and go to school with the same twenty people every day. And too much of anything is not a good thing. It would be interesting to see what life would be like if I chose to stay. I know one thing for sure- I wouldn’t have to write this blog.
