Dream of Dancing

Scarlett Wright is a little girl who was born with no toes. She was born with a rare condition called Adams-Oliver syndrome which is so rare that only 130 people in the world have it. Scarlett dreams of becoming a ballet dancer and her parents support her dream. She walks in specialized shoes to keep her balance but takes her ballet lessons barefoot. Her condition causes her pain which holds her back from dancing for long periods of time so her parents are raising money to buy her special dance shoes for training and for preforming. With her love for ballet she pushes threw the pain and works hard in her dance classes, "As a mother, it's difficult to watch. No-one wants their child to have a disability, but it makes it easier because she's so positive. If it wasn't for that, I don't know if I could cope" (dailymail.com). This story is so beautiful to me because not only does it show the hope and innocence that children have but it also shows how happy dance can make people. It breaks my heart to hear dancing hurts her because she is so young and has a far road ahead to become a ballerina but I can tell she has the perseverance and strive to become a beautiful dancer.
