Day 6

The earliest thing you can remember.

The earliest thing I remember is a dance recital when I was 4 years old. I wore a pink leotard with a sparkly pink tutu and a big pink bow in my curly brown hair. It was for my tap class and it was either my first or second dance recital ever. I'm pretty sure it was at Northside High School but I'm not certain. I remember standing in a row with the other little girls in my class in a hallway where our moms and some of the instructors drenched our hair in hairspray and put little bits of make-up on us for the show. We performed "Me and My Teddy" from the show Barney. I don't remember anything after the performance, but I know the adrenaline I got from performing that day is what kept me performing for the 15 years after.
