As a ballet dancer, one of my greatest strengths is my discipline and dedication. I give my best in every class, rehearsal, and performance, always striving to grow both technically and artistically. However, I tend to get so involved and committed that I often ignore the warning signs my body sends me. This has unfortunately led to some serious injuries. I still learn to listen to my body more carefully and to set clear limits in order to protect my health and sustain my performance in the long run.
