...course, when it comes down to it, I'll never do CityStep...
...despite this lack of support and patient teaching, my passion for stepping only keeps growing. For one thing, stepping just looks so cool. Okay, maybe me stepping doesn't look particularly cool, but CityStep still has this incredible hold over me. I try out new rhythms on my way to the Crimson, and late at night I try the occasional little clap-kick-step in my room. I hold out hope that somewhere inside of me is an incredibly coordinated, cool and spunky stepper...
...want to join CityStep. Don't get me wrong; no one has ever mistaken me for a red-headed Ginger Rogers or anything. My friends loudly snicker whenever I set foot on a dance floor, and that's my friends. But watching my roommate last spring step ecstatically with her kids got me itching to jump right in, both left feet first...
...this is not to say that this is a good idea, especially if you plan on graduating. What will your parents say when you tell them, "Well, I really wanted to do CityStep, so now I have to devote eight hours a day to learning all the moves, which really doesn't leave much time for classes." Chances are, they won't be too pleased...
...course, given the sensibilities of most Harvard students, you probably wouldn't do anything of the sort. Like me, you would quickly realize that you will never pursue that hidden passion in any serious manner. Like me, you will realize that CityStep is not in your future. And now, you will be at a crossroads, a fork in your life at which you have a very important decision to make. Will you stifle your dream? Or will you find some other, less time-consuming way to reach self-fulfillment...
