A Slice of My Life.
“Are you nervous?” Al asked his nine year old daughter as she is getting ready for her dance recital.
“No daddy, why would I be?” She replies with her innocent curiosity.
“Your just going to be dancing in front of hundreds of people, I would think you would be nervous”
“No, I have performed these routines so many times already, I am just excited”
I remember this moment so vividly. Its like it happened yesterday. The feeling of going on stage in front of hundreds of people would make almost anyone nervous, but not young Makaya. I was invincible, nothing could hold me from my bursts of confidence.
Although quite courageous, I am not so much as I was before. Now when I am getting ready to go on stage, I get those butterflies. Those feelings of doubt, everyone does. But when I do, I think back at that conversation I had with my dad, and I get that renewed burst of confidence.
