KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON

I started ballet as an adult 2 years ago, and it's so hard!!! My first class i was so discouraged i had tears in my eyes by the end. Really. I'd never taken a dance class but consider myself coordinated and athletic, so it was a hard pill to swallow. But i'd been a beginner before (haven't we all) and you can call it tenacity or plain old stubbornness: i kept at it.
Actually i'm no stranger to being the worst in class-- i joined the swim team at age 10 (at my best friend's urging)
when i couldn't swim a lap, i joined the tennis team in 9th grade having never picked up a racket (also cajoled by a close friend)-- i had a full shelf of 'Most Impoved' trophies & 'Participation' ribbons by the end of high school. AND i was captain of my Swim Team senior year, got offered a tennis scholarship from a small college, and yes, even performed on stage in May with my beginning/intermediate ballet class. I'm not saying i'm any good, but i love dancing, learning and being challenged, and noticing small moments of grace along the way.
All that said to encourage you to follow your passion (or your good friend's) and try something new! i am CONFIDENT that all of you can do calligraphy and art and anything else you put time and attention into -- practice makes (moments of) perfect! :)
