Anna was doing her new route for their newest performance. As she has finished up one part and was moving onto another with her partner the dance instructor, Mrs. Jennifer Steller called out her name.

"Anna! Please come here." Mrs. Steller say

"okay, I am coming!" I say, walking up to her I noticed a envelope in her hand

"Anna, I have this for you" then handing me the envelope and I open it

"What! This is real?" I say to her, in shock

"Yes, it is. You can continue to learn dancing at the London Theater in England." she says proudly

"Thank you! I am so excited!" I say, now very happy

"Yes, I am as well, but you must work on your current dance before practice is up. We have the show in two days." she says.

"I will. Thank you again!" I say, then run of to the stage to finish. 

Time Skip

I have finished and am walking home. 

"Hey Mom! I am home!" I say loudly

"In the kitchen, darling!" my mom, Christine Delina, says. I go to the kitchen seeing mom getting dinner set up.

"Mom, you will not believe what has happened today at practice today" I say, excitingly and then "I got a invitation to the London Theater in England!"

Mom suddenly stops and turns to me "Where did you say it was?" she says

"In England" I say, now nervous

"Let me see, darling" she says and I hand  it over

We stand in silence for a few moments until she says "No, you are staying right here in New York."

"What, mom! Why? " I say

"Because I said so. Okay!" she says with an angry look, but I also saw something else, fear

"But mom, you know this is my dream. Why take my chance away from me?" I say, ignoring that look of fear in her eyes. 

"Anna I am not trying to take your dream away, understand that. Their will be other opportunities for you later at a different theater" she says

"Yes, you are! You know this theater is my dream. You know this!" I say, feeling betrayed a little

"Anna! Please just sit and eat your dinner. You will not go. And that is final." she says, signing

"Why? What is so wrong about going to the place I want to go to and finally having that chance early on? What is the reason" I challenge her.

"It is a reason that you do not need to know. I am your mother, just sit!" she shouts

"No! Mom I am not hungry. Good Night" I sat walking out of the kitchen and up to my room closing the door.
