Regrets of years past....

There is not much in life I regret. I have made mistakes (haven't we all?) but as for regretting things, my list is short. While on YouTube today, I was reminded of one of mine. Here is a bit of a story to prepare you for my regret.

When I was a little girl, I was very shy and quiet. When I was six my moms friend asked my mom if she thought I would be interested in taking dance lessons. My moms friend, Angie, had a friend who taught dance and so my mom asked me if I would like to take dance lessons and I said, "heck yeah mamacita!" Ok, ok. Those were not my exact words. But that was the gist of them.                                And so began my love of dance.

I took dance from age 6 to 16. This sounds cliche, but when I danced, I was someone else. I wasn't shy and quiet. I loved performing. I loved the crowds. I loved the girls I danced with (most of them anyway!) and I loved the person I was while dancing. My high school had a drill team. When I was a freshman I had the opportunity to try out for the team for my sophomore year. I went to the first part of the tryouts. They went good, I felt like I had the ability to make the team. But for some reason that I cannot at this time remember, I didn't go back to any of the other tryouts. My dance teacher even called me when she found out I wasn't trying out anymore, which further leads me to think I may have been able to make the team. But my decision was firm and I didn't go back. Fast forward to today and while on YouTube, I came across some videos of the Bountiful High School drill team. I am pretty sure most of the videos were from last year, but oh my gosh! They are AMAZING!!! But it made me realize how much I regret not trying out for my high school drill team. The decision was entirely mine, and I really have no memory of why I changed my mind, but I definitely wish I had the chance to do it again, because this time I would definitely try out.
