Dreaming of Dancing
Some of us dream of dancing, others of us dream of dancing without making utter fools of themselves (myself included).? But for 15-year old Nathalie Calderon, it seemed an even bigger stretch than just learning the right steps.
She’s only got one foot.
She was born with a rare birth defect that her tibia quit growing, so a portion of her leg was amputated when she was a year old.? But that hasn’t stopped her from chasing her dream.? She wanted to dance.
With her prosthetic foot, she took and succeeded in her dance classes to the point that her instructors had no idea she was missing a portion of her lower leg.
What couldn’t we all accomplish if we refused to let our difficulties or disabilities prevent us from chasing after our hopes and dreams?
This story is such an inspiration. It looks like Nathalie sets her goals high. We can all learn from her courage and determination!

Only ones with real dreams can chase after them
