Ballet class scared me more than math tests; my legs froze, my heart drummed louder than any music. One day I decided to face the mirror, fall, laugh, and rise again. Each stumble painted bruises that turned into art. Today I’ll share how I rewrote “I can’t” into “I could,” and why trying, tumbling, and repeating is the bravest dance we’ll ever do. My name is Elsa. I am a 10-year-old girl who loves reading, drawing, and playing the piano. Music brings me a lot of joy, and I enjoy expressing myself through art and melodies.
