Five years ago, when I first came to Spotlight, I had very little experience with dancing. Learning to dance has not come easily for me, and I still consider myself a beginner. Because this is a place where we strive for excellence rather than perfection, I can be a beginner and still feel like part of the family. My goal is not to be a great dancer, but to dance to the best of my ability. By striving for this goal, I am accomplishing things today that I never imagined were possible for me five years ago.
