我舞蹈班正在做一个木箱面对观众的两英尺的两脚上的例程。 我所要做的下一次将移动一只脚放在我旁边的框并保持我的箱子上我另一只脚。 我真是一个简单的移动。 我集中这么多保持我的脸上和控股的脑袋,我不是看我正要上巨大的笑容。 我错过了我的搭档完全和滑了一跤。 那里我站在舞台地板上时我的同学们被他们框的顶部。 我能听到来自该的观众的 giggles(咯咯笑) 和我感到血液涌向我的脸。 我记得我的舞蹈老师曾告诉我们,"你犯保持微笑,观众不会注意"。 我尽力听她的劝告,我继续使用该例程。
窗帘删除后,也在晚上我的期望。 我哭猛烈,品尝流下来我脸上的泪水从盐。 我在后台,跑,但没有人能让我平静下来。
最近,我意识到那天晚上我已经一颗星星。 我感到尴尬,但我打想运行下了舞台。 相反,我完成了我的脸上带着微笑例程。 现在当关于时间的朋友和家人笑我滑一舞演出期间我可以笑过。
