He reminds me every day why i do what i do....i am a dance teacher with comes with choreographer, grad student, mentor. BUT if i was to define myself through my job, I am a teacher. i love it.
between all my different dance teaching jobs through my company....even i go through struggles financially, just figuring out where I'm going to get money for gas. even if i do go through struggles personally, i wonder when will i get rest. even creatively, i wonder what will be next piece.
then...once i began to worry. he gives me something to remind me...today's reminder was in a child's eyes...her progress has just gone up since i was working with her. that is the greatest feeling for me to witness a student's growth.
at the moment, one of my dance contracts is with an non-profit organization, AWOL in Savannah, ga (seriously this organization has their stuff together). i am one of their choreographers for their production. its one of the most amazing experiences that i have been apart of...i am just now coming back from them. Savannah is a over than an hour drive from my home.
but it is worth it, just to see the students growing using this vehicle of the arts...its worth everything.
he reminds me every day why i do what i do everything....this was just one example
