4.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)dream took on a vivid form and acted as something important to start my training.As I grew older and was(37)exposed to more,my interests in the world of dance(38)certainly varied but that little girl's dream of someday becoming a (39)dancer in the company never left me.In the summer of 2005when I was 18,I received the phone call which made that dream a(40)reality; I became a member of the company(41)dating back to 1925.
As I look back on that day now,it surely (42)lacks any sense of reality.I believe I stayed in a state of pleasant disbelief(43)until I was halfway through rehearsals (排练) on my first day.I never actually (44)expected to get the job.After being offered the position,I was completely (45)astonished.I remember shaking with excitement.
Though I was absolutely thrilled with the change,it did not come without its fair share of (46)challenges.Through the strict rehearsal period of dancing six days a week,I found it vital to (47)pick up the material fast with every last bit of concentration.It is that extreme (48)attention to detail (细节) and stress on practice that set us(49)apart.To then follow those high-energy rehearsals(50)with a busy show schedule of up to five performances a day,I discovered a new (51)meaning of the words"hard work."What I thought were my physical(52)boundaries were pushed much further than I thought(53)possible.I learned to make each performance better than the last.
Today,when I look at the unbelievable company that I have the great(54)honor of being a part of,not only as a member,but as a dance captain,I see a(55)tradition 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.
