Every time they take the stage I appreciate where they were yesterday, how they are today and what might be possible for tomorrow. I see potential, nerves, hard work, frustration, delight. I see Penny pushing herself in her solo and owning that stage, alone. I see Oliver overcome what were paralyzing nerves nine months ago to have fun and let his personality come through in his performance. I see their release of endorphins as they come off the stage, chatting with their friends, and giving me the biggest hugs. I see their bonds with their teammates as they recall every moment of the routine and I see them doing something that is hard but giving them so much joy and fulfillment. I see them making lifelong memories.
