She heads into her Senior year of High School, having danced since she was 3.
I, like her, headed into my Senior Year having skated since I was 3.
After graduation, maybe she will continue to dance, or she may never tie on a pair of pointe shoes again.
I do know the discipline and lessons she has learned in all of those practices and performances will follow her for the rest of her life.
