The right words at the right time...

I was standing in ballet the other day and my teacher stops the music and says "I don't know why but I felt I needed to tell you this" and she gives us this long speech about not letting anyone get you down and trying to under stand people and find where they came from who they are what made them this way and these words really stuck to me she said "Don't let anyone determine how you feel about you". Later that very night I ended up saying those words over and over in my head when i had a teacher in one of my other classes tell me I wasn't doing good enough (even though I try just as hard as anyone else) those words played in my head over and over and kept me from tears! I am so thankful for that teacher she is so amazing and I will always remember those words and how much she cared about all her students and loved us all very much!
Thank you Connie Burton! I love you!
