I am a Skeptic-Orphic-Solipsist. A Skeptic person doubts everything that they do, and what other’s do. An Orphic person believes that good is rewarded and evil is punished. A Solipsist believes that idea’s come from experiences. So basically I doubt my life, believe that if I do something good I will be rewarded, and believe that the best idea’s come from your life experiences. All of those things are pretty different from each other. They mesh together, but what they make is a bit of a mess.
David Gemmell, author of Fall of Kings, once said, “Trust your instincts, and make judgements on what your heart tells you. The heart will not betray you.” I know this to be true, but I somehow cannot do this. I doubt and question everything that I do. …show more content…

Make the moment important, vital, and worth living. Do not let it slip away unnoticed and unused.” I am a dancer, and have been since I was two. Up until this year I have always danced because I like it.

I will have to work incredibly hard, and put in a ton of effort and time. I will have to accel at dance in both high school and college. Not to mention nail my audition for the Rockettes.

This dance routine was for 3rd graders, and it became a major supervising role where I had to work independently yet work together in a team to make our routine a more unique and pleasant moment for everyone. I made sure I spent hours putting together dance pieces and teaching the dancers the arrangement which wasn’t a simple task since they were so young. The task was challenging both physically and mentally, but it taught me to stay optimistic and open-minded. I consider myself a brilliant scholar because I strive for perfection. I strive to be the best in all I do.

Life is short. This statement is made by many but taken seriously by so few. The song “I Hope you Dance” by Lee Ann Womack , and more specifically the lyric “When you get the chance to sit it out or dance/I hope you dance” (8-9) describes the decision of living life to the fullest.

It was at this exact moment when I experienced my watershed moment. It was at this exact moment when I realized how even the things that we hate doing the most, are absolutely necessary to us because they define who we are as a person. I realized the issue with my life was not that I wasn’t intelligent, or that I was untalented at gymnastics, or that I had poor multitasking skills or an inability to cope with stress. My issue was my inability to want to get the best out of the advantages that the sport brought me. I had lived my entire life without realizing that all the work that I was putting into the gym was to eventually gain something greater.

With the help of my instructors, I am able to work towards improving elements I have always struggled with, such as balance. Even outside of class, like auditioning for Mesa 's dance concert, I have found that the structure and organization of these auditions has helped prepare me for audition processes in the real world. Picking up and retaining choreography quickly is something I tend to struggle with, but these auditions give me the practice necessary to perform to my greatest ability and figure out methods to be on top of my game. Dance is like therapy to me, and after a long day of work or other classes, it feels comforting to have my dance classes as an outlet to express myself and exert my energy into something positive. On that same note, I have felt overwhelming support from my dance instructors at Mesa.
