But in the morning when you wake up, they are remembered just as a dream. That is what happened to me. I always had the dream to dance like a beautiful ballerina（芭蕾舞女演员）turning around and around and hearing people applaud for me. When I was young, I would turn around and around in the fields of wildflowers that grew in my backyard. Reality woke me up when I heard someone saying, I dont know why you bother trying to dance. Ballerinas are pretty and slender(苗条) girls. Besides, you dont have the talent to even be a ballerina. I remember how those words hurt every feeling in my body. I fell to the ground and wept for hours. I enjoyed hanging out by the water. I would sit there for hours and stare at my reflection(倒影). There I was, looking nothing like a pretty ballerina dancer. Reflections dont lie. Once the waves would come, my reflection was washed away just like my dream to dance. As I grew older, I began to realize that the reason my dream was even born was because it was something that was inside of me. The dream I had was never nurtured(培育) and cared for, so it slowly died. Its not that I wanted it to die, but I allowed it to die the day I started listening to the words, You cant do it. When I finally woke up from many years of dreaming, I realized that you cant only settle for dancing in the wildflowers, you have to move on to the platform. 1.
