| Dear Mrs. Michelle Mossay-Cuevas, I remember the day I saw your first dance concert at the Jefferson House, Elizabeth High School stage. It looked so much fun and the house was packed, I was sitting on the floor then. I was in chorus at that time and decided then and there to leave it b/c of lack of physical activity. I wanted to move around like those people on stage. I also remember asking you in front of the auditorium if I may join your class, and was thrilled to be heading to Advance Dance right away. Throughout the years I have studied dance in that studio from you I treasure til to this day. You have taught me hard work. When the obstacles are difficult for my body to achieve, you gave me the strength & inspiration to dig deep. You also taught me the gift of performance. I have discovered the inner power of fighting for perfection, pleasing the audience and myself, and no matter what mistakes I make I can still finish with finesse. The confidence I have attained til to this day, I still use. When at times I am down on myself and feel a task is impossible, I look back on what I have learned and experience and draw on that to make things happen. I cannot thank you enough for everything :-) Love ~ Tim David |
