When you value something you should not value it because of the price of it. The real value is all the memories and feelings you had with the item or memory that you can't replace with any other valuable item or special moment. Two things I value are my Tap Shoes and the day I met two “Dancing with the Stars” pro dancers.
I buckle up the strap on each foot and walk into the room. The clack,clack the shoes are making is one of the most beautiful sounds ever. I value my tap shoes for multiple reasons. One reason is that you can make sounds with your feet that are so unique and you can't make sounds like that in any other type of shoe. When I dance around in my tap shoes the outside world disappears and I am free to be me and not make a mistake. However, class can be very stressful when you can't get a step right no matter how much times you practice, or when a teacher is being extra hard on you. But it all works out at the end when you nail a step. Whenever I do a step correctly I feel good about myself and I can't help but smile. It boosts up my confidence when a dance teacher gives me a compliment in class. I have been a tap dancer since I was 5 years old and its my favorite style to learn, I never plan on quitting my training as a tap dancer.
We all dream of scenarios some may dream about wearing a gold medals around their neck, some may dream about passing their math test. Others may dream about meeting the people who tell them not to give up, even if its not directly to there face. So when the opportunity came for me to meet two of my favorite dancing with the stars pros I didn't think twice about the offer. It all started about a week before the actual show and I was using my ipod and I found a link that said “Derek Hough, Peta Murgatroyd Reality check live at mohegan sun”. I double checked the article and made sure I wasn't going insane. I ran downstairs and told my mom about this event and she didn't give it a second thought her immediate answer was yes. I was so happy I couldn't stop talking about it. The day finally came June 24th 2012. Are we there yet are we there yet!! everyone in the car kept asking. Almost was there reply each time. We finally arrive and I can feel myself getting exciting, I couldn’t believe I was actually here. We went to are spot right away because there was a lot of people that were about to show up. We wait and wait in this one spot for ever and finally the clock hits 3:00. The screams of all the people while we watch them dance and the laughs when they answer a funny question. Finally at 4:00 its time for the meet and greet. We wait in a long line that seems like forever I think about what i'm going to say half the time I am waiting. Finally the line comes down to me. I go onto the stage and they both say hi to me I say hi and laugh (Which I always do when I'm nervous). I ask Peta for a hug and not to sound cheesy or anything but it was probably the best hug I have ever gotten. It was one of the best times of my life. Standing next to and talking to one of my biggest inspirations. All the votes I would use on them each monday and the nerves that ran through me when they were in the bottom. I never thought a day like that would happen. I will forever value that moment.
My valuable item and moment are similar in a few ways. One way being that I smile or get happy when I think about the day I met them or when I am in tap class. Nothing can replace the value in my tap shoes and erase that special moment standing next to the dancers. Although there are a lot of similarities in my item and memory they are also different from one another. My tap shoes are things I wear and my memory was with people that I only have pictures ( and a very strong memory) to remember.
I value these items for a lot of different reasons. I can't replace the memories that had with these items and I will never forget them. Both of these Items are really special to me.
You can't relive certain moments. So you should value everything you receive no matter what the price is or how big or small the memory is.
