My narrative essay

Title : Learning to Dance

My whole life, I am devoted to the thought of being slim and healthy, however often I shattered my own dream as I binged on good food in any festivities. I was shamelessly and unimaginably fat for a 17 year old guy. People called me names but I put those aside, though it wounded my self worth. Until one day my grandmother snapped about my worrying size. That moment I knew I need a huge change.

So I made a solemn swear that whatever it takes I would make sure I would make a mark on this world as a healthy young boy. Soon the thought consumed itself, until one day Youtube recommended me to watch a music video titled 'super girl' by Super Junior, a Korean boy band. The song is catchy and upbeat, it intrigued me to lock my eye on the computer till the end. I was overwhelmed by the choreography that unconsciously my chest popped itself and my hands were slowly moving with the rhythm. In the height of passion I was granted a major epiphany, that dancing is the key out of my hedious self.

They say it is easier said than done. Setting the goal was the easy part, yet the path towards a healthy body was not a walk in the park. Along the way my passion was often tested with good food and the sleazy part of me that arduously provoking me to retreat from the journey. Another big hurdle was the endless days of learning the choreography so it would not get rusty. It took a while to grasp the steps, however my passion was unbeatable. After weeks of training and countless criticisms from my peers I got a strong grip on the choreography which eventually became the catalyst of staying slim.

Right now I have an accumulation of 20 songs choreographed, and still learning more. With the easy access to Youtube and miscellaneous dance-cover videos online my dancing career widens. If it was not for the 'super girl' video I would not have earned the urge to learn dancing and embrace the world with a new image and better self esteem.
