A Smile is a terrible thing to waste

Today I have found myself feeling kindof down and I got to thinking about one time when I was really wondering if my path in dance was right for me

I had been through the pressures from one slave driver Ballet teacher Michelangello and his constant lashing of your not perfect talks he had driven me to becoming bulimic and Anorexic I was starting to acctually hate going to Ballet class because of him he came from the east coast and so even when I was under weight I was still " A Big Bucket of Lard" to him this was the first time I had really thought about giving up on my Ballet, I mean he loved Chris adored him and begged him to get a new partner.

But Chris would not Have it I was his partner through thick and thin and he told Michelangello that if this was the way to being the best we could be then we were not going to have it and we were going to take the slower road then and he picked me up ( I was sitting on the ground and crying that day cause of all his yelling at me) and he walked out with me and I asked Chris while we waited outside for his mom why he would give up the chance of a life time and he told me there is no chance of a life time unless I am dancing with you. I told him that he shouldnt give something up because of me and he assured me he was not because I was his dance partner and that I had something that no other girl could give him and I asked him what was that and he told me a smile that is the sun shine through the gray rain clouds to which I blushed and he said to me you are that rare beautiful rainbow that appears that no amount of rain can take away. Well needless to say we never went back to Michelangello ever again Chris like he always could made me smile
