So a couple of weeks ago I started ballet again for the year. I had a new teacher this time who I had never met before. He was going round the class pointing at people and saying their name because he wanted to remember them. He came to me and was completely stumped.
"Darcy" I said. He replied with "Ohhh like Bussell?".
Having no idea what 'Bussell' was but wanting to to leave a good and intelligent impression on the teacher I said "yeah, like Bussell." The teacher ended up calling me Bussell whenever he was referring or talking to me. I just kind of got used to it after a while.
i came home really eager to find out what 'Bussell' was. So i googled it. The first thing that came up was some wikipedia stuff about this 'Bussell" family who were some of the first settlers in WA or whatever. So i then went onto images..
Now I knew what he was talking about.
I was on google for about an hour or two. Admiring pictures and watching YouTube clips about her life and watching her perform. This might sound weird but i kind of fell in love with all the knowledge about her. Every piece of advise she gave and every flawless move I saw her perform became more and more beautiful and desirable,
Every time I go to ballet classes I think of her now. When I'm not doing the best I could be, I use her as motivation. Every time I'm not getting a move or a combo right and its just frustrating me, I think if myself as being on stage as a professional ballerina and then try do the move or combo. And trust me, it works every time.
Sometimes I think its good to have a motivation. Even though they may not know you exist, at least its helping you. I encourage you to do this (or tell someone else about it). Find someone or something that you can relate to that can make you better at the thing you are passionate about.
Stay classy! xx
