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 my1 took on a vivid form and acted as something important to start my training. As I grew older and was2 to more, my interests in the world of dance3 varied but that little girl’s dream of someday becoming a4 in the company never left me. In the summer of 2005 when I was 18, I received the phone call which made that dream a5; I became a member of the company6 back to 1925.
As I look back on that day now, it surely7 any sense of reality. I believe I stayed in a state of pleasant disbelief8 I was halfway through rehearsals (排练) on my first day. I never actually9 to get the job. After being offered the position, I was completely10. I remember shaking with excitement.
Though I was absolutely thrilled with the change, it did not come without its fair share of11. Through the strict rehearsal period of dancing six days a week, I found it vital to12 up the material fast with every last bit of concentration. It is that extreme13 to detail (细节) and stress on practice that set us14.

I learned to make each performance better than the last.
Today, when I look at the unbelievable company that I have the great19 of being a part of, not only as a member, but as a dance captain, I see a20 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.
