Which talent would you most like to have?

When growing up I had been brought to the theater to watch a musical, specifically the Nutcracker. I was instantly enthralled by the many actors and actresses dancing across the stage to the flowing musical pieces throughout. After that in my free time I would dance around the house leaping and trying to imitate their grace, I wasn't the best and had a tendency to run into stationary objects. I liked the art of ballet so much that when I was in the store I kept staring at this DVD set for learning the moves from Swan Lake, another ballet that had caught my attention. My mother had noticed my staring and for my next birthday it was one of the items that I had been given. It became one of the things I looked forward to doing and watching as often as I could. It was one of the few toys I had kept when we had lost our home for the first time and it ended up getting left at the shelter my mother, brother, and I had stayed at, I wasn't sad to part with it as a lot of the other kids had found enjoyment in using it.

I had once expressed my want to learn how to do ballet to one of my grandmothers and her response will forever stick with me, "You're too big to do ballet, that's for skinny girls." This wasn't her first comment about my weight and it definitely wasn't the last. The comments that would slip from her lips only encouraged me more to prove her wrong and show her that I can do anything as long as I put my mind to it. Whenever I could find a large enough space I would take the chance to practice in my own way, teaching myself to be more flexible and elegant. I believe it was this practicing which allowed me to love the feeling of exercising as I would dance until I was either interrupted or panting on the ground out of breath.

As I finish up with college I want to put more time towards learning how to dance even if I may be a little old or not the right shape, I want to learn how to do any and every dance.
