Cold metal

silver phrases etched on a mini statue

"platinum"

countless hours spent in a hot, sweaty studio

multiple injuries that jeopardized your spot

physical and emotional strain

long, never ending nights

compromised sleep

FRUSTRATION!

tough love and self-doubt

happiness

enjoyment

pure fun

nailing that triple turn

doing what you love with the people you love

accomplishing goals that we once thought impossible

feeling amzing about the impression you left on stage

hours of hard work

only to be rewarded

with a Cold

lifeless

trophy

that somehow makes you feel

self-fulfilled
