Everyone has a goal, but what exactly is a goal? One definition of the word goal is “the object of a person's ambition or effort; an aim or desired result”. So, one might ask themselves, is a goal a short term ambition or something we strive to reach by the end of our lives?

I believe we should each have the power to define goal as it relates to our self and what motives us in our search for happiness.

I had let myself down, and as a result I began to work harder and harder and in 2010 I had my moment. I won the title for best solo in my age division at the last dance competition of the season. Reaching that personal goal of winning pushed me to try even harder every day and the older I got the more I understood that I could have been and even today still can be an amazing dancer if I just put my entire soul into the movement. The revelation that my hard work could bring personal reward, and previous inspiring moments in my life have taught me to never give up when times are tough. The accolades and satisfaction I will feel later will make it all worth it in the …show more content…
Through practice, I have experienced firsthand the feeling of absolute elation when doing something well, something I took the time to nurture and cultivate. Throughout my years in dance I have been trained by an array of instructors. The one thing that always amazed me was their inspiration, their emotion through movement, and their passion for teaching and performing. They leave everything out on that floor and I wish to do the same. That is my goal. I want to inspire people as I have been inspired.
