Call Me Stupid...!?!

Call Me Stupid…!?!

While I know I should be studying, I really felt the need to write the thoughts in my head down… It’s Saturday and I woke up wondering why I had to get up and then I realized, It’s Saturday and I have to get up because I get to go to rehearsal and dance!! Even though I know that rehearsal will kick my butt and the dance is a challenge for me, I LOVE that I was given the chance to learn something new!!

Many years ago my third grade teacher was seriously frustrated with me, because math has and always will be difficult for me, and she asked “how are you so stupid!?!”. While I eventually figured out multiplication, that will forever stick in my head. And for many years that made me angry, I feel that I should tell her, thank you… Because one day I realized that this will be what I use as my motivation in life.

I am where I am today, because I am determined to prove to everyone they were wrong about me. I was able to pack up my life and move to a new state, to a new city where I don’t know anyone… because I am confident that I can do this. I was very blessed with some teachers who refused to let me give up and helped me to understand the importance of my hard work. And most of all to be grateful for every opportunity anyone is willing to give me.

I will be the first one to tell you, that I am far from being the best or the smartest. But I am more than okay with that, because I know that I will ALWAYS have something new to work towards and learn. So even though I may be tired, I will always willingly get up to dance any day of the week, no matter how much it challenges me… because I am and will always be determined to prove any and everyone wrong. Call me stupid, that’s fine cause I’ll just wave my college degree in your face!!
