Elena had been waiting for this audition to show she had what it took to be a dancer. For years, she had been practising for hours to no end every day just to prepare herself for this momentous moment. Who would have thought she would be scouted by Paragon Entertainment - the biggest entertainment agency in the country? Definitely not her!
Excited beyond belief, Elena could not help fidgeting in her seat as she waited anxiously for her number to be called. Only the people who would be attending the auditions were able to enter the auditorium so sadly, her parents and boyfriend were not able to support her from a close distance. In order to make up for it, they all sent her encouraging messages and promising her a huge dinner if she were to ace this audition. And even if she failed, they would not love her any lesser. Such sweet words automatically brought a huge grin to Elena's face.
Before she knew it, her number was finally called and she walked nervously to the audition room where she would be performing in front of the judges - all of them being professional dancers and choreographers who won countless number of dancing-related awards and with a prolific resume to their name. She felt extremely small being in the same room with extremely famous people.
Taking a deep breath, she introduced herself and that she would be performing her routine. She chose a pretty tough choreography but she had practised hard in order to excel in it and she felt that this would impress the judges. Forgetting about her nervousness and remembering the immense support from her parents, she danced like there was no tomorrow. As she immersed herself in dancing, she quickly forgot that she was performing in front of crowd and unconsciously smiled, thoroughly enjoying herself.
Once the music stopped, she slowly snapped out of her trance, as if suddenly remembering that there were actually people in front of her. Then it clicked on her. It did not matter if she was rejected. She thoroughly enjoyed dancing and even if her skills were considered inadequate, she never felt happier.
Thanking the judges, she headed out of the room, with her head held high, extremely proud of herself.
