I've been on my high school dance team since I was a sophomore. Now I just made the dance team the 3rd time, my role of being one of the captain been robbed. Seems like after all the hard work and dedication I've put into my team, it seemed like a waste.
I'm the only hard-of-hearing girl but that never stopped me from anything. People would come to me for advices, ask me for help with dance moves, and stuff. I went to one of the girl's house to teach her the full routine that we all had to do at tryout. There were so many times that I've felt ignored by my teammates. They would leave me out of conversations, plans, and stuff. I felt I was the odd one out. But I still stayed committed to my team.
My coach gave the captain spot to a girl who gloat and brag a lot. Her look would come off mean like the way she would come off snobby looking and always rolling her eyes. She's nice but really bossy sometimes. She can be intimidating because she picks up on routines pretty fast. She would gloat by doing her little dance, have that stupid smirk on her face, and jump around.
The other captain spot was given to a girl with many years of dance experience. She been on the team once when she was a sophomore then after that she decided to go into cheerleading, and then now she just made the team without even trying out, she's captain now. I understand why she would be captain though, she's good at technique that we all need to learn. But that doesn't mean she should be captain, compared to girls who been on the team longer than she had.
And last the 3rd captain is a girl who has a really bossy, rough, ghetto attitude. She's just a little crazy to me. She was the last person on my mind to even be captain. She got in an arguement with one of the girls and almost got physical.
Where does that leave me? A girl with a giant pillow stain, eye make up running down her face, and a crushed dream. I thought I had all the captain qualities. I'm very outgoing, helpful, and everything. I was even willing to go over someone's house and go over an entire routine for 3 or 4 hours just so I can see her make the team. I'm a really patient person, I don't care how long it takes me to help. I just want that person to succeed. She did make the team by the way.
I think after all the hard work I've done, no one apprieciated it. I don't know what am I doing wrong.
How can I get my mind off this? Help me please?
Thanks.I really need advice please. It sorta long but I need your help.?
From what you're saying, figuring out what you're doing wrong is easy...
It's nothing! You're not doing anything wrong at all.
It's just that, life really isn't fair sometimes. I agree that maybe they weren't the best choices, and I know that it sucks. But you should keep dancing, because you obviously love doing it. The part about you helping out another girl means that you're a very kind person. And even though it may not mean much coming from a complete stranger and all, but I appreciate you. I appreciate you because it makes me glad to see that there are still some people who have goals and who strive to reach them.
You should stay exactly how you are, and most definitely don't let this incident change you, because then all your hard work really would be for nothing.
And the last thing. How you can get this off your mind? To be honest, I don't know. But if I had to say, I'd say just keep doing what you've always been doing. Just keep dancing, and helping your teammates even when you get no merit out of helping them. And don't ever be spiteful towards the captains, even though you don't think they deserve to be captains. Maybe then, someone will realize how much potential you have.
Hope my corny little speech helped, even if it only helped a smidgen.

All I can say is get over it. In a couple of years you'll look back and realize how truly trivial this little problem is.
Hello, you sound like a sweet girl and if i was you i would not change a thing. I think your looking at it all wrong. I know you probably hard this before but ALWAYS DO YOUR BEST. Your life is not over and continue to work hard. The other girls ignore you becouse there is something special about you that they are jealous of . Forget the position of captain for a moment. You help people when help is needed. You may say ';but they got the prize'; but believe me I am out of high school and people like that don't make it far. But forget about that just focus on you. Please! Please! don't change becouse people want to see you fail. Dont make this a compitition, just do you best to the fullest. God is fair, your prize just comes at the right time and it will last. Never look for glory from people they will fail you. People like you is what the world needs. Pray and do good and believe me it will come and last. Just not when you want it but at its right time. Thanks for hearing me out- Kenny G
