An obstacle I encountered was trying to reach the same skill level as the other dancer, considering I started dancing when I was in 8th grade while most of the people in my class started at a young age. I worked hard every day, trying to improve my skills; every day, I would fall, get hurt, and eventually got back up. However, I managed to get up because, in the end, I became one step closer to being with the students in my class. The motivation to getting better and improving my skills got me through that obstacle because it allowed me to push beyond my limits and that allowed me to do well in dance.

Making new friends, learning more about Mexican culture, and boosting my confidence, all of these in my eyes were areas that I had some sort of struggled with but dance little by little, helped me accomplish such positive effects in the three.
