~:[CH13 - Day 346]:~ Do Something Different

Do you want to sing? Do you want to dance? Many won't do either because they're too afraid. They worry that they're not good at it, so why do it? As we wrap up our season, we always have our dance unit where the athletes meet a few times after the season and design a dance. It started way back when, as a few of our student taught the whole class a single dance. It morphed into what we have to today, the Ohana Dance Battle. I always enjoy watching them figure it out, especially the groups that never dance. They may not have the most spectacular routines, but it's nice to see them make the effort. In my class, we also had our Star Spangled Banner test as our seniors either recited it or sang it. Many opted to sing it. Whether or not you're good at something, if you want to do it, then give it a shot. You suck at it? Great. As one of my seniors said last night, it's even a greater reason to do it, as it teaches you a lot more than living a life where everything is just easy. Do something challenging; do something different. Routine is nice for efficiency, but in order for us to fully soak in life, we need to truly challenge ourselves and put ourselves out there. Whatever it is in your life that you've wanted to do or try, do it. It doesn't matter how good you are at it or what other people thing, if that desire is within you, go after it. Life is often a cycle of doing things we're used to and improving on it, but why not do something different and even if we're bad at it, just do it. As we wrapped up our dances, I was happy to see such a large group come out and support our underclassmen and proud of all the athletes for their performances. I was impressed thoroughly and am glad that they all put themselves out there and tried something different.
