I was in dance for years. When I was maybe seven, I was doing a recital.
Now, I was pretty good at dance. Most of the people in the class were older than me— I very well could’ve been the youngest— and we were doing a fast-paced dance to the song Good Morning Baltimore from Hairspray.
At the beginning of the dance, there was a pirouette. I could easily do those. I had practiced this dance every single day for months— what could go wrong?
I went into the dance with confidence. I did my pirouette—
And I fell.
In the split second that I was on the ground, there was a sinking feeling of dread in my stomach. I had FALLEN. Right at the beginning of my Big Performance.
Most people at seven years old would’ve ran offstage crying, but I had too much spirit to do that, so I got back up quickly. I must’ve been embarrassed, somewhere deep inside me, but in the moment I was too focused on the dance to do anything about it.
I completed the dance with confidence, never breaking character. I don’t remember much else from that night, but I do know this: you’re going to fail sometimes. It’s just part of life. You’ll embarrass yourself in public, too. But you know what fail stands for? First Attempt In Learning. And that’s a part of life.
So go, make some mistakes. It’s how you grow as a person.

I was once in a this cute little outdoor play when I was 9 or 10, my part in this play was narrator and puppeteer. During one of the last performances of the year I completely forgot one of my lines. My mind was blank. After a minute or two of awkward silence I eventually remembered my lines and the rest of the performance went on as planned.
