Sunday and Misty Copeland
Many of you may have seen the commercial featuring ballerina
Misty Copeland that quotes a rejection letter she received from a ballet
training academy that said she didn't have the correct body type for ballet, and
at age 13 she was “too old” to be considered.
Well!
Those were some pretty discouraging words (to say the least)
for a thirteen-year-old to hear. So on
those days when you feel discouraged, remember this young woman who now wants
to serve as an example to those dancers who may hear similar discouraging
words.
Through hard work,
determination, and the encouragement of other teachers who saw her potential,
she not only achieved her goal of being a professional dancer, she is now working
with one of the best ballet companies in the world. Today Misty Copeland is a soloist with
American Ballet Theatre.
And, she is serving as an inspiration to others.
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:
Secret #44:
“Discouraged? Remember Misty
Copeland.”

of the Day:
“If you really believe in what you're
doing, work hard, take nothing personally and if something blocks one route,
find another. Never give up.”
