So I chose a Sad and travelling emotion to dance, I started to make my legs moving and my arms
too. Whenever I dance some cool and funny moves, I want to impress my teacher Miss Brown
and my parents, I want to reach my highest record even though if my dancing is bad I shouldnʼt
move on or otherwise Il just give up. I will keep dancing and focused the people that treated me
as a nice friend, the one who keeps impressing me. I will not give up and focused on the people
that hated me, so when I started to dance I get a bit nervous. one person told me to not give up
on something so I copied him and continued.
