A Mad Very Teacher

I have made some mistakes in my life but so has everyone in the world. The biggest mistake that I have ever made was when I did something that my dance teacher told me not to do. Ok here is that story, I was at dance and my dance teacher always said don’t hurt yourself when I’m not in that room. So what did I do I hurt myself when she was not in the room. After my teacher left the room my friends and I saw a flip or jump I don’t remember but we wanted to try it. Of course, it didn’t go how I thought it was going to. I ended up landing on my ankle and I ended up breaking the top of my foot. My dance teacher came back in when I was on the floor holding my foot and she was really mad. She tried to contain her anger to make sure that I was ok, but I knew she was really upset with me.

After I went to the doctor they said that I would be in a boot for the rest of the season. So that meant that I was not able to dance till the fall. I was really upset that I couldn’t dance and be a part of the competition and the recital. I still had to go to class every day which was really hard because I couldn’t do anything but sit there are hours and watch my friends dance. It also made my parents mad because they had to drive thirty minutes to sit in a car for two hours. I think they still had to pay for it too but I’m not so sure. I felt so bad for everyone involved, I was so heartbroken You never know how much you enjoy doing something till you can’t do it.

I would tell myself that I shouldn’t have done that. I would say that I should have waited for my teacher to tell me what to do so I could do the trick. I would tell myself this every day I would make myself feel so bad. Then I started to say well even with my teacher telling me what to do I could get hurt. Even if she was in the room it still could happen. I have to tell myself that this was supposed to happen. It started to make me feel better about what has happened. When I came back to dance I could work so hard to get back what I couldn’t do.

From this experience, I have learned a few things. The first thing I learned was not to do something new that could cause an injury without my teacher in the room. I have learned to try not to get hurt during the dance season. For me, this one is hard because I get hurt all the time but not to this degree. I have learned not to make my dance teacher mad because that is not a very pretty site. The last and most important thing that I learned is that everything happens for a reason and I shouldn’t beat myself up for stuff I can’t control.
