THE BALLET DANCER

Malaika had always had a desire to do ballet, but she was told from a very young age that she was a terrible 

dancer. She had zero coordination when it came to her hands and her feet. She felt tormented inside. Her mother would put her in so many different classes so that she could try different things such as football, painting and guitar but Malaika only wanted one thing. Finally,

when she went to New York to study, the very first thing she did was go and sign up for the best ballet class there was. In the very first five minutes, she fell down. Her teacher walked up to her and Malaika pondered whether she would be thrown out and everyone would be proved right, that she couldn’t dance. The kind hearted teacher reached her hand out kindly and helped her up. She told Malaika in a sweet voice  that a dancer can only learn to get up when they tumble and fall. In a few years Malaika became the best dancer in the whole of New York  because of that little advice.
