When I think about dance teams, I don't necessarily think of the dancing concept but rather the friendships and the memories made. Most people feel most confident and accustomed to what they live with everyday, making life changing decisions very difficult to make. Me being one.
I danced on a Competitive Dance Team called Dance Dynamics, and never expected to ever leave. I was brought up a question by my former dance teacher asking if I ever considering being on my High School Drill team. I never pictured myself in boots and a hat while dancing on a football field ,so I ignored the question as long as possible.

I went back and forth considering if drill team would make me genuinely happy or concluding to a terrible mistake. Auditions came and my brain felt as it was going 100 miles per second filled with doubt, worry, but also a weird excitement to learn experience something new. I gave it my all during the performance and thankfully received the news that I had successfully made the team. All the upperclassmen truly made me feel welcomed which mentally supported all my worries. I was still very upset about leaving all my old friendships, but I knew that a new school meant a new life.
Time passed and contest season came. Coincidently, my old competition team was competing at the same competition our drill team was at. It was difficult to see my old friends together without me, but I came to the realization of how I didn't regret leaving that life behind. Till this day I’ve wondered how my life would've changed if I stayed with them. Friendships, academics, home
