Dancing Queen...Only 17!

f.y.i. For those of you who don't have older siblings, it may be harder for you to relate to this blog. :)
Sarah. 5'8". Tall. But not Plain. Anything BUT plain. Blue Eyes. Golden-Blonde Hair. European Epitome. Beautiful. Strong. Athletic. Musical. Talented. Amazing. Gifted.My sister.
For years I struggled with the fact that she was my sister. My older sister. My sister who can teach herself to play any instrument, and within a month of "messing around" sounds like she's been playing for seven years. My sister who can pick up any sport (ball), and make the team, though she's never played before tryouts. My sister who takes the ACT when she's 14 years old, gets a 27, and goes to BYU on a scholarship when she's 16 and 9 days old. My gorgeous sister who just had to be related to me. Not only that, I had to come after her. (And believe me, I don't care what speakers say, she's the toughest act to follow).
Anyhow, the reason I'm writing this blog is not to pay tribute to her and beat myself up in the process, it is to tell you of my new epiphany.
So basically, 4 weeks ago, this sister decided to learn the tango. (She's not a big dancer - only been Ballrooming for like a year on and off). So she does. Also keep in mind that she is a 4.0 student in college. Then she decides to compete in the Nation Dancesport Competition at BYU. Well, she is on the Silver level, and remember she's doing this all for fun and for the experience. So she competes and round after round, the judges fall in love with her. So, she makes it to the top 6, the top 3, and finally, the top spot. Yes, my sister is the best tango-er in the nation after a month of knowing how. Yes, tell me that's disgusting and no one should be able to do that, and I will tell you yes, that is right, no one should be able to do that - But she just did. And instead of being grossed out and sad - for one of the first times ever, I have been truly happy for her. Not only that, I don't feel worse about myself. She inspires, not eradicates me. I don't even know what caused this, it may have something to do with my little "session" with her last night, though, I don't know. All I know is that it's great, and I'm loving it.
P.S. I feel like quoting Wicked, "What is this feeling, so sudden and new?" .
