OMG yesterday was absolutely amazing. The feeling I got was indescribable. You know when you get that clog in your throat where you cant swallow or breathe and you dont knoe why? Well it was that times a million! To look out into the audience and see every person stand up and applaud was the best feeling I have ever experienced (honestly). Well for those who have no idea what Im talknig about I went to a states competition yesterday and I received 1st place once again with my solo dance. I was so scared, nervous, unconfident, .. those girls were amazing (even the guys) and I thought there was no hope of me even placing. Well when the called top 5 and I heard my name I knew I was doomed. I would walk away with 4th or 5th and no award to show for it. We picked numbers out of a hat to see what order we performed in and I got 5! I hate being the last one cause its the last thing the audience sees and remembers! Well they'll remember me alright. I had hundreds of people come up to me, suarez, and my mother to congratulate us .. me especially for my talent. I found it weird they came up to ME since the other girls were so much better (or at least I thought so). Well I went on to perform the second time and when I look up the judges were the two helpers that had been supproting me the whole time. It was like it was meant to be. My throat swoll up as I stepped onto the dance floor to top off what the other divas had just done (which I thought impossible), Even my mother who supports me, but never lies to me, told me Id be lucky to receive 3rd or 4th but I tell you when I did that dance and I looked those judges straight in the eyes and saw the look on their faces my views changed completely. People all around me were in tears. There was sniffling and not a mumble while I performed! I think that was the most memorable part of the whle competition. It was amazing!! I walked offstage and all emotions took over and I started bawling. I was excited, happy, nervous, scared, in pain .. all at once. As the adremnaline rushed thru my veins Ifelt as if no one was in the room other than my music and myself. The minute I finished dancing the whole room lit up and the roar of applause hit me lyk a thousand knives .. not describing the pain .. only the intensity. The feeling is one I will never forget. Well anyhow, I changed back into my normal sweats and sat with my head between my knees for a few minutes so nerves wouldnt get the best of me as I waited for the results. My mother told me it was between 3 of us, 2 being from coral reef, and myself cause the other 2 had messed up :\. Well when I heard third and second place being given out to the two girls I put myself against my whole body started trwmbling. It was unbelieveable. The frist person I went upto was the judge I was speaking about .. the one Ive known for a while thanks to other competitions. I ran up to him and he congratulated me and we took some pics which I need to send him asap. Yesterday was my most memorable moment of o5 hands down. Hopefully in 2 weeks this whole thing will happen all over again. If it doesnt I wont mind. Point is I came, I saw, I conquered .. lOl Ive been dying to say that as cheesy as it is!! No but seriously I left a mark. I won both competitions regional and state level and I know I wont be forgotten for a while now. Lets see what I come up with next year. Well I think Ive boree most of you out f your minds already so I ll just update again some other time.
