Do you like to dance? I sure do like to dance. I wish I could dance better though. Girl you just have to work it but, don’t worry it will be fine. Wait ! I am a bit shy though. Girl get rid of the shyness it isn’t good to be shy. Don’t worry you will learn how to forget about it. GET YOU HIP BELTS ON AND BEGIN TO SHIMMY! Wow that was exciting. I thought the movement that I saw was incredible. I am Mexican not from like India or anything so I thought to myself “how in the world am I going to be capable of doing such movement?” I looked around and saw that nobody could really do such movement like the class instructor did and I am Mexican and me thinking that only like Indian people could do it was like the dumbest thing to think because THE INSTRUCTOR WASENT INDIAN. So that motivated me to believe in myself. I thought you know when you learn something new and you want to get good at it you have to practice, so here I was practicing in front of the mirror trying to get better and better at belly dancing. I really didn’t know what I was getting my self into I guess I just thought I wouldn’t need so much help but I actually did I was trying to move areas in my body and trying to form them and I wasn’t use to it. This wasn’t bachata anymore and it also wasn’t traditional Mexican dancing like stuff I was usually use to. I literally felt awkward I was like “ I look ridiculous doing this”. Believe it or not I was thinking about not going to any of the other classes anymore.
Although I was motivated I was like “NO” this is not for me. But as you know my mother had to get in it and she began to nag about the money she put into it and everything so I had no choice I had to go back. Then what happened as I kept going to more of the classes I began to get more comfortable in doing what I was doing there were some moves that I was really BOM at doing. The teacher even asked ME to demonstrate. My older sister was the best in the class in doing all these belly dancing moves I was jealous, but don’t think of me as a jealous person I am totally not. She had trouble at stuff I was good at and she needed my help like I needed hers in stuff she was good at. Asking for help wasn’t so bad or even asking the teacher for help after class. Now believe it or not want to know something about me , I am super proud of myself me Vanessa Castro can call herself a belly dancer.
I overcame the obstacles in belly dancing and mastered all the moves. Guess who passed the beginners class me duh ! Guess who even performs in front of a live audience me! Like I put in so much work into mastering and learning how to belly dance I really hope that this year I will be able to give it my all in my English class and getting help in expanding my vocabulary staying on topic and when writing something how to format it so it can stay in order. In all my English classes I have tried to master controlling my run on sentences and I really haven’t accomplished that and this year I really extremely do want to master writing an essay that contains absolutely no run on sentences. I believe in myself and I believe that this year is going to be a good year and I am expecting to accomplish all goals. Although at one point I will want to just stop trying I cant have any of that. I made a promise to myself. As much as I may not want to I kind of have to and it will be for the best.
