One Week Until My Ballet Exam

 With only one week left until my 7-year ballet exam, I’ve been feeling very nervous and honestly, not fully ready. The pressure is building, and every class feels more intense as the exam date gets closer. I’ve been trying really hard in class—focusing on corrections, practicing at home, and putting in extra effort to make sure I’m prepared. Even though I still feel anxious, I’m doing everything I can to improve in this final stretch.

Through this experience, I am achieving several CAS learning outcomes. I am demonstrating perseverance and commitment by continuing to work hard and stay focused, even when I feel unsure of myself. I’m also increasing my awareness of my strengths and areas for growth as I prepare for the exam. Additionally, I’m developing important self-management skills by organizing my time and energy toward this goal. Although it’s a stressful time, I’m learning how to stay motivated and resilient under pressure.
