OR Blog #9: Today I read an article in DANCE magazine called "The Extra Step". It's the story of how a dancer became a full ballet company member with her perseverance. Kara Brosky is a strong dancer with clean, classical lines. Because she's not the best in her class she has trouble standing out in auditions.  Her teacher Jessica Lang, noticed Kara's talent in changing styles smoothly during a routine and when Kara asked for a recommendation for an apprenticeship with Richmand Ballet, her teacher was glad to do it. Brosky had to be calm and collected when her flight to her audition was postponed to the day of. She ended up getting the job. I think that if your determined enough you can get any job you want. Just like Kara Brosky, you need to be able to work with what your given. For example, if your running late to an appointment, make sure your calm and able to do what you need to do as if you weren't late. The person who wants to hire you will see that you can get things done under pressure. This is what I read for outside reading this Sunday.
