Inspiration
“Mama, when I grow up, I’m going to be one of those!” I said this after seeing
the Capital Dancing Company perform when I was three. It was the first time that my
__$36__ took on a vivid form and acted as something important to start my training.$
$As I grew older and was __37__ to more, my interests in the world of dance __38__$
varied but that little girl’$s dream of someday becoming a __39__ in the company$
never left me. In the summer of 2005 when I was 18, I received the phone call which
$made that dream a __40__$; $I became a member of the company __41__ back to 1925.$
$As I look back on that day now, it surely __42__ any sense of reality. I believe I$
$stayed in a state of pleasant disbelief __43__ I was halfway through rehearsals ($排练)
$on my first day. I never actually __44__ to get the job. After being offered the$
$position, I was completely __45__. I remember shaking with excitement.$
Though I was absolutely thrilled with the change, it did not come without its fair
$share of __46__. Through the strict rehearsal period of dancing six days a week, I$
$found it vital to __47__ up the material fast with every last bit of concentration. It is$
$that extreme __48__ to detail ($细节) $and stress on practice that set us __49__. To then$
$follow those high-energy rehearsals __50__ a busy show schedule of up to five$
$performances a day, I discovered a new __51__ of the words$ “hard work.” What I
$thought were my physical __52__ were pushed much further than I thought __53__. I$
learned to make each performance better than the last.
$Today, when I look at the unbelievable company that I have the great __54__ of$
$being a part of, not only as a member, but as a dance captain, I see a __55__ that has$
inspired not only generations of little girls but a splendid company that continues to

develop and grow-and inspires people every day to follow their dreams.
