There, it sent.
I breathe in deeply feeling my shoulders shudder as I do. I lean back against my chair, Chris corner was going to see this video!
I had just posted it on IAMX facebook wall. They had asked dancers everywhere to submit a video of themselves dancing to any song, I chose "nature of inviting", if they liked the video they would be chosen to be featured in their new music video.
This was my chance. I still couldn't believe it they were going to see my video.
A few days ago I recorded myself dancing to the song since I had preformed it in a talent show a year ago at my high school, I had even used at an audition to a highly famous dance company. The judges said it was really good but didn't get in.
I was hoping by posting this I will be able to be in IAMX new music video, but I doubt it.
My mom had been nagging about me going back to college and getting a decent job. If this didn't work then I would really have to forget my dreams about being a professional dancer.
"Bernadette" my mothers low whisper frightened m
"huh?"
"Did you find a job online?"
"no, but I sent, the video i recorded..."
"Here we go again" my mom cut me off. She leaned against the door as her fragile hands rubbed her forehead.
I sigh, she thinks I can't do this, "but mom"
"look Bernadette you are a great dancer but times are tough. Your aren't going to be simply accepted, it takes hard work"
"I'm willing to work hard though"
"Bernadette" she sternly says my name
I felt uneasy, she was right.
I bring my knees against my chest feeling all my dreams being popped like a balloon, she stands up an places her hand in the door knob.
"If you can't find job involved with dancing" she emphasized the last part, "then you will have no choice but to go back to college and forget about this dance thing of yours"
I was starting to protest but she cuts me off,
"ok?"
I sighed "fine"
"Its only for your own good,"
"I know" I mutter, she shut the door before I could say goodnight
I sat there staring at the confirmation page on the computer screen.
"please" I whisper.
I had sent a video of a dance routine for IAMX competition to be given the chance to appear in their new music video. This could change my life, gain even some experience and connections from this. I needed this.
If there is really something powerful and almighty in the heaven above, please help me get accepted. Please.
I take one finally look at the screen before turning it off to go to sleep.
