I ushered for the dance concert today for NHS points, of course. I usually don't go to these things unless I can get in for free, because I either don't have money, or I'd think it's not worth my money. Good thing I volunteer, right? Hah. Well anyway, the dance concert was pretty fun. There was the good, the bad, and the ugly, but despite the diversity in talent, it inspired me to write a note.
Sometimes I deeply ponder the world and wonder why some people are "stupid" to me. I didn't understand why some people couldn't grasp simple algebra (especially after the 5th time taking the class). However, I have also pondered why some people are sooo smart. Do they not have lives? false. Do they study all day and night? maybe. Then, I have also pondered those people who can write like young Dickensons, but at the same time take the same Algebra I class for the 5th semester in a row.
Is it hard to at least have a simple understanding at everything?
I don't have too much of a problem with it.
Then the dance concert started.
Now, I don't know much about dance. Whenever my mom makes me watch Dancing With the Stars with her, all the dances I thought looked awkward and robo-tronic, the judges will swoon over the couple's grace.
Wtf, mate.
Well, there were a lot of dancers. As aformentioned, there were good dancers, and there were bad ones. As the night went on, I realized a few things-- one of them, talent. After that, every answer I've been looking for tidal-waved down upon me. Maybe these amazing dancers were simply created to dance. Programmed to dance. Made for the art of dance. Function in dance. Born to dance.
Those who did not dance as well, so to speak, I noticed, have a forte someplace else-- whether it be academics, sports, music, art, theatre, culinary arts, fashion, cosmetology, woodworking, whatever. I appreciate their effort, but what are they doing? Get to where you all belong. You have much more talent elsewhere.
I realized why some people may fail their classes: it's not what they're meant to do.
I realized why some people fail at making toast. I realized why some people (including myself) fail at every form of physical activity they try. I realized why some people fail at creativity.
I guess not everyone can grasp a little of everything. At least they have that one thing they are certain to excel in.
What am I born to do? I don't know.
Cook? Eh. I want to be able to put food on my own table also.
Music? Close, but I'm not good enough.
I definitely know I'm not destined to do chemistry, so this pharmacy thing might be an issue. Hopefully I'll find that something I'm supposed to be talented in, and I'll pursue it.
Follow your bliss. =]
