Win

I put my head down and closed my eyes. This was it. I had to win. The whole team was counting on me to bring them to nationals this year.

I had to motivate myself with turns; candy, and a goal so I could win today. I would play games all day when I get home or I would do over three hundred push ups if I didn't win this. I wasn't doing this for myself but for the team. I also had to stimulate myself. I got really excited about what if I did win? After that my mom wouldn't give me any more energy drinks or coffee. Just water.

When we got there at the place where we were to meet the team, my mom went to the market area. Well it wasn't really a market area just a place where a few people sold things. She bought me a necklace with an adamant on it. I had smiled at her and gave her a big hug. "Thank you mom." I had said. I was getting nervous by then. Our Facilitator or Coach, which ever one, got there we had to practice. She has been a great influence on us and she is like family to me. If it wasn't for her I wouldn't be where I am today.

It had come to my turn to register to say that I was here and to give my music over. I had found out that I had the wrong music. I was upset and I knew my mom couldn't go home and get it in time. So now I had to negotiate it and do my best. Our Coach had an argument with one of the people registering us because they didn't have one of our girls on the list but then they came to a consistent on it when they found her on the other sheet.

I took a deep breath as I was waiting for the lights to come on an the music to start. I went through my routine in my head so that I would remember it. The lights popped on and the music started out nice and soft the way it was supposed to be, unlike my other one that started out fast. My arms started to move at their count and so did my body. My feet gliding across the black stage. I felt like I was in my own little world no one was there but me even though I knew there was over hundreds of people watching me.

This was my environment, my life, heart and soul. I put a lot into this. This was a dancers life and I knew I would win that first place and go to the nationals with my team who were also my friends. I was a dancer that didn't have to dance. I was a dancer that needed to dance. It was my passion for it that got me my first place trophy.
