I'll always remember the first time I tried ballet(芭蕾). My mother was a dancer and I wanted to be like her, but after making many mistakes during my first class, I felt like I wanted to give up right away. But it was only my first day. I told my mum I couldn't wait to dance again.
Several weeks passed and my dancing didn't get any better. Then my dance teacher told us that we were going to perform in a show. I was afraid of falling on my face in front of hundreds of people and making my mum sad.
I practised hard for the show, but I still didn't get the hang of it. Finally, I went to my mum to tell her how I felt. She just laughed and told me she would teach me all she knew about ballet. My mum quickly found out how bad at ballet I was, but she still taught me with the greatest patience, love and understanding. When I jumped and fell, she was there to catch me. When I lost my balance, she held me up. By the time the show arrived, I was as prepared as I could be.
The music began and my heart started to beat quickly. Breathing calmly, I began moving to the music without missing a step. When the music stopped, I ran off the stage and laughed with excitement.
My mum found me and gave me a huge hug, telling me how proud she was. I looked my mum in the eye and told her that there was no way this could have happened without her. Through this, I knew one important fact: My mum will always be there to catch me if I fall.
