Reality check

Dance. It came into my life for more than 7 yrs. today was another reality check. The moe dance talent programme auditions. I opted for chinese dance which i have officially started learning 6 yrs ago. I am stiff and less flexible than others which makes me disadvantage and worse still, i am short. Accompanying me was the president of our dance society, also the main lead in syf chinese and syf international, and the female lead for syf chinese. In my eyes, they are really good and will definitely get through the auditions. However, i am not confident of getting through the auditions. The incharge guy said that it is a reality check for us dancers, and it made me wonder if i chose the right path to dance and if i am even fated to dance in the first place. The dance teacher asked for our names individually and i suppose it is to choose one of us only. It seems pretty obvious to me that she will get in and i wont. It is demoralizing to me as i have been dancing for a really long time and it feels like i will never proof myself. Both of them were the favourites in school and the girl is invited to join ur teachers dance troupe which the guy is alr in. I feel inferior to them when it comes to dancing and i am losing the confident i used to have. They sing praises about me but i wonder if it was true at all. I felt like the reality check was a time for me to think whether i should continue dancing or not. I dont know what to do anymore, yes passion and hardwork will bring you success but when? When others have those as well plus great qualities to be a dancer. Reality check, reality checked. Maybe its time to reconsider.
