After working together for the past 3 months I would consider him a life long friend. I have been inspired by him from day one. He has a passion for what he does and a love of life that is admirable. He loves to give and help his community, and loves helping others.\u00a0 He has been my biggest fan in this whole journey. Supportive in his teaching and his words. He won&#8217;t let me get down on myself.\u00a0 He has built up my confidence and encouraged me every step of the way. I am forever grateful.<\/p>\n<p>When I started this I was feeling so inadequate and afraid.\u00a0 I doubted myself from day one.<\/p>\n<p>But here we are &#8211; just over a week away from the big event.\u00a0 We&#8217;ve learned two dances. One Latin. One traditional ballroom. It&#8217;s been HARD. Harder than I ever expected.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve been frustrated. Angry. Sad.\u00a0 This process has taken me through a lot of emotions that&#8217;s for sure.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve stepped on each others toes.\u00a0 We&#8217;ve forgotten moves.\u00a0 We&#8217;ve shared a lot of laughs.<\/p>\n<p>This has been one of the greatest experiences of my life and it&#8217;s not even over yet.\u00a0 I&#8217;m going to miss all of it when it&#8217;s over.<\/p>\n<p>Next Saturday &#8211; on stage in front of a few hundred people &#8211; I get to get all dressed up and beautified &#8211; and dance like nobody&#8217;s watching, for a great cause &#8211; Community Concerns For The Medically Fragile.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1535\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/bri-web-app-wordpress\/2019\/01\/c831ce8f-dancing-like-a-toddler-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Get your tickets NOW at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/dwts-sarnia-to-benefit-community-concerns-for-the-medically-fragile-tickets-48616291637\">Eventbrite<\/a> for a night to remember.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1433\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/bri-web-app-wordpress\/2019\/01\/4b356e2f-dancing-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sarnia&#8217;s Dancing With The Stars is just over a week away and this girl is feeling anxious and so excited!
