When a person is young, their parents usually puts him or her in every single activity possible. Swimming, dance, gymnastics, soccer, the list could go on forever. I was one of those children. Some of these activities like swimming stuck and I have continued to do. While others like soccer, turned out to be a disaster. But others like ballet I wish I had stuck with. When I was about the age of 6, my mom put me in ballet class. I used to walk around the halls of my elementary school on pointe. So a friend's mother told my mom she should put me in ballet. So there I was. Tall for my age and awkward. I stood there in line nervous. My mom had borrowed a leotard from a friend because she didn't want to spend money if I was just going to stop like I had with soccer. It was a classic light pink leo like most little girls had. Once I got in line I realized all the other girls had blue leos on. I was okay with it until this little annoying girl next to me asked about my leo. I being ashamed of my pink leo, immediately said that I was going to get a blue leo. After that class, I decided that I didn't want to continue ballet class. I look back on this moment and am so sad that my mom didn't push me harder to stay in ballet. I had great success with swimming and love it so much, but there's a part of me that wishes I had danced more. When I got to college, I decided to take some dance classes. It became something that I looked forward to. I have taken a ton of dance classes and it is now a new passion of mine. So I have decided since I am a senior at the University of Nevada, Reno, that I wanted to make a bucket list of things that I have yet to do in Reno. Sit back and enjoy my wonderful journey!
