Sitting quietly in front of the house one early morning and observing the environment as some people pass by the road side to do their daily routine, I have always waited for this day to come, the day I will finally perform on stage. I'm so happy people will get to know who I am and the talent I have within me Charlotte said to herself.
Charlotte couldn't sleep all night as she thinks of how well she's going to perform on stage. Charlotte is a dancer and she has been chosen to be the lead after some many years of devotion. She had a rough time coming this far.
Charlotte started dancing when she was just 10 years old, her mother had always wanted her to be a dancer since she was once a dancer herself but she couldn't dance anymore as old age has taken over. Charlotte practice everyday and her dream was to dance in a big stage where everyone will see her. She has always wanted to be on a national TV, she know she's a Star just that people haven't seen her yet.
How can this dream of mine come through when I'm always scared to compete with people. She made a decision to go for an audition, after some many trials, it seems the judges weren't looking at her side even with all her efforts.
When she was finally giving up on dreams and wanted to choose another career out of frustration, then she received a call that she should make herself available the next day as she will be joining the dance team. Charlotte has never been this happy and of course the good news came at the right time for her. Her mother was so happy as her daughter's dream of becoming famous is gradually coming to reality.
She woke up so early to prepare for her first meeting, she was warmly welcomed and was introduced to the team, some of them were surprised as they have never seen her face before, she wondered why they were looking so weird, it seems she wasn't welcomed by her team but she didn't mind, she kept on putting up a smiley face. They practiced all day as the competition will be holding the next week.
Charlotte had wondered why they suddenly picked her to join the dance team after a long time but she didn't dwell in it for long as she was so excited to think of any negative thing.
They practiced everyday, she didn't even have time for herself, all she wanted was to put in much effort so they could come out top. A day to the competition, Charlotte was so nervous, she had never danced on a big stage before and neither have she been on TV, doing this means the whole world to her. She could barely eat nor sleep, over excitement as she arranged her clothes in her bag a night before the main day.
It's finally the day of the competition, Charlotte had arrived early before anyone could. Few hours later, the manager walked towards her to break the news to her. I'm sorry Charlotte, but you won't be performing today said the manager. At first she thought it was a prank not until the person to perform her role came in with the same dress as Charlotte's, she couldn't believe it.
Emily was meant to perform Charlotte's role but due to the fact that she had some complications with her health, she was advised to take care of herself first, Emily was on bed rest for sometime. Since the announcement of Emily's health, they decided to get someone who would replace her till she's better that was when Charlotte was called for the dance.
Since Emily was okay, she could perform on the stage as she has also waited for this day. Charlotte was hearts broken as she walked home crying profusely. She promised herself never to dance again no matter what happens.
