The day started out alright. I was in my room getting ready, putting this beautiful costume on. Rainbow colored body suit, with a sheer rainbow shirt. One sleeve on and one shoulder bare. Pink tights and ballet slippers. My mom had put my hair up into this twisty bun type of thing and on my head, a ring of flowers.
When I finally came out of my room, I heard my mom on the phone, “Okay, thank you.” Then she hangs up. “What’s going on now?” I wondered.
Mom came to me, “Connie, I’m really sorry, I can’t come to your ballet recital.” She went on to tell me that my ballet teacher would take me to the recital, that’s when the butterflies in my stomach turned into rhinos stomping around in there. “Can’t I stay home then?” I asked, almost crying. But not more than ten minutes and I was in my teacher’s car on my way to somewhere I didn’t want to be.
I loved ballet, I was pretty good too. At least that’s what my teacher said. A little tall, but pretty good. That’s why she taught me a solo dance, but I never thought I would have felt so alone as I did that day on stage.
There I was standing on stage, my mind a total blank, the music kept playing but, but, what am I going to do now? I look at my teacher for some kind of support, she’s looking away. I say a quick prayer in my head, “God help me!” I can’t remember the steps!
It seemed like hours, it was more like seconds that I just stood there, in the middle of my solo, in the middle of the stage. How could I forget?
God comes through. I did a few twirls, up on my toes and then the finish on one knee. The music stops and everyone claps.
Thank God, it’s over and I’m still alive!
