Did I? Did I? Did I? By: Bella

I walked into the room, and there I saw 5 judges with clipboards and black fold up chairs. I slowly found a spot at the barre and gulped. I was so nervous I couldn’t even move. I tried and put a smile on my face to show the judges that I can smile. I had been so excited to take the pointe test, but now I was so nervous. When my ballet teacher came in we did a warm up at the barre, we did plies and frape. Then we went to the center and did turns and glesads. After that we went to the corner and did leaps and waltz. One of the students asked when we would be able to find out if we made it or not. They said that we would find out next thursday. I was sad that we had to wait a whole entire week.

Next Thursday was finally here, it was the last day of school. I was very anxious the whole day to get home and find out. When the day was finally over, as nervous as I was, I ran out the door as fast as I could all the way home. When I got home my mom was on the phone with my grandma and I was very sad about that because I really wanted to know.” Who was I kidding, I would never get on pointe.” I said to myself, “ I’m not even the required age.” I would never get on pointe.

When my mom got off the phone she told me to hold on a second and went outside. My mom said something to him but I couldn’t hear. While they were talking I was standing there very anxious, while listening to my little brothers act like animals. When they finished talking they both came back inside. My mom took out her phone and found the email for me. My mom gave the phone to me and I read the email. It said,” I know you are all anxiously waiting for this email blah blah blah. We are very excited to tell you the we feel as though Bella is ready for pointe!”I turned around and gasped. I was sooo excited! “I thought that they would wait a year because I am two young, but they didn’t I get to do pointe!” I screamed. I am so glad I made pointe.
