While Amalia gave her interview, there were lots of messages. She said that we had to treat our bodies well by getting lots of rest, eat healthy and have energy in you. She also said a competition can make you forget what you love most, like dancing, you may forget that you love dancing while doing a competition. If you want to be good at something, you have to prepare yourself, both physically and mentally. My favourite story was when she had to dance high up, so they needed oxygen tanks. That shows how much she loves to dance.
Amalia Schelhorn made her interview very inspiring and informative. A few things really stood out in what she said. She informed us that if you are ever stuck and you cannot solve something, just sleep, because sleeping helps you process the things you are thinking about and replenishes your energy. Another thing she said was that competition affects performance negatively, so it is more important to just focus on how you do. A story she told that I found interesting was about how when she danced she was happy, but she was even happier teaching because she found it very fulfilling when a student understood something that they had not before. Something that she said that I can apply to my life that she spoke about was dedication. She said that in the end it matters how hard you worked, not how talented you are.
From Amelia’s interview, I found her opinions very different from most. I learned how talent was much less signification in comparison to commitment and practice. She also discussed how competition can make you work harder, but it also makes you think about things in a different way, often driving you to not taking risks, playing it safe. An story that stood out to me, was how she told us to stand out in your field by being emotionally and physically involved. I think Amelia had many unique ways of thinking about things.
While listening to Amalia’s conversation, I learned that talent isn’t what we think it is, to become good at something, you need to prepare yourself physically, and mentally, to do good at it you aren’t just good at it right away. I think that my favorite story she told us was the story about when she was in school, she did well and was smart, but at one point once she was done school, she realized that it wasn’t just her being smart, it was just that she had tried really hard. After hearing all of this, I think that what stood out for me the most was how she put some of dance career into her speech and answered as many Questions as possible. I also found it neat that she was able to stay calm during the whole thing .I found that I connected with you the most. I am glad that you came to our school.I also like the enthusiasm that you brought along with you to our school.
Amalia’s interview was very interesting. I learned that talent isn’t actually what matters. As long as you work hard, and are passionate about what you are doing, nothing else matters. Talent helps, of course, but it’s not the most important thing. She said what she does to excel and stand out in her field is she spends a lot of time, works hard, and is involved both emotionally and physically. Amalia said that competitions change our motivations, and I agree. I think competitions are fun, but sometimes I think they make us forget why we started doing what we were in the first place. We start doing it just to win, and not because we love it. One thing that stuck in my mind, is when she said that everyone is better at something then other people. That I found was connected to talent. Everyone has a talent, and everyone is special.
