“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 __
36__ took on a vivid form and acted as something important to start my training. As I grew older and was __
37__ to more, my interests in the world of dance __
38__ varied but that little girl’s dream of someday becoming a __
39__ 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 __
40__; I became a member of the company __
41__ back to 1925.
As I look back on that day now, it surely __
42__ any sense of reality. I believe I stayed in a state of pleasant disbelief __
43__ I was halfway through rehearsals (排练) on my first day. I never actually __
44__ to get the job. After being offered the position, I was completely __
45__. I remember shaking with excitement.
Though I was absolutely thrilled with the chance, it did not come without its fair share of __
46__. Through the strict rehearsal period of dancing six days a week, I found it vital to __
47__ up the material fast with every last bit of concentration. It is that extreme __
48__ to detail (细节) and stress on practice that set us __
49__. To then follow those high-energy rehearsals __
50__ a busy show schedule of up to five performances a day, I discovered a new __
51__ of the words “hard work.” What I thought were my physical __
52__ were pushed much further than I thought __
53__. I learned to make each performance better than the last.
Today, when I look at the unbelievable company that I have the great __
54__ of being a part of, not only as a member, but as a dance captain, I see a __
55__ 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.
