Inspiration

  “Mama, when I grow up, I'm going to be one of those!” I said this after seeing the Capital Dancing Company perform when I was three.It was the first time that my   1   took on a vivid form and acted as something important to start my training.As I grew older and was   2   to more, my interests in the world of dance   3   varied but that little girl's dream of someday becoming a   4   in the company never left me.In the summer of 2005 when I was 18, I received the phone call which made that dream a   5  ; I became a member of the company   6   back to 1925.

  As I look back on that day now, it surely   7   any sense of reality.I believe I stayed in a state of pleasant disbelief   8   I was halfway through rehearsals(排练)on my first day.I never actually   9   to get the job.After being offered the position, I was completely   10  .I remember shaking with excitement.

  Though I was absolutely thrilled with the change, it did not come without its fair share of   11  .Through the strict rehearsal period of dancing six days a week, I found it vital to   12   up the material fast with every last bit of concentration.It is that extreme   13   to detail(细节)and stress on practice that set us   14  .To then follow those high-energy rehearsals   15   a busy show schedule of up to five performances a day, I discovered a new   16   of the words “hard work.” What I thought were my physical   17   were pushed much further than I thought   18  .I learned to make each performance better than the last.

  Today, when I look at the unbelievable company that I have the great   19   of being a part of, not only as a member, but as a dance captain, I see a   20   that has inspired not only generations of little girls but a splendid company that continues to develop and grow-and inspires people every day to follow their dreams.
