Mary's letter about her ACL PDF Print E-mail
Written by Mary Doerr   
Sunday, 12 October 2008 02:15

I thought I would share Mary's note to NCYTE, her tap company, in North Carolina.  It's a bit ragged and disjointed as she wrote it at 2:30am, but I think its pure Mary...  -brian

 

Hey Everyone,

 

On Friday the 3rd of October I tore my ACL in half when I hyper extended my right leg during a kick routine at the pep rally. The worst part is they told me for sure it wasn't my ACL at first and then last Saturday I went and got an MRI and on Monday they told me it was for sure my ACL.

I have kind of been in a mental shock for the past couple of days so if I haven't replied to emails, text messages, or phone calls I am so sorry. The whole thing has kind of been an emotional roller coaster because at this point I'm wondering why this happened to me.

This is when I realized everything happens for a reason whether you like it or not.

So far I’ve learned how being a leader on the drill team is more than just the dancing, it also has to do with moral support and supporting your team. And just as I am supporting my dance team back here in Texas ya'll also have my full support. I believe in all of you and this past year was one of the best years of my life and I owe it all to you guys.

My passion is dance and once that was taken away from me I was devastated but ya know it really made me appreciate dance so much more. I’m hoping I will be out of rehabilitation sooner than the 6 months, which shouldn't be hard especially if I do my exercises.

I’m scared and mostly for the shots and the laughing gas more than the actual surgery which it so weird I know. But on the positive side I hurt myself doing what I love to do and plus that was the best high kick I had ever done in my life.  It was like all the way up to my head.  It was so weird that everyone thought that I had kicked myself in the face and that’s why I was limping off the middle of the floor. haha I was like no that’s definitely not what happened, I wish.

Well I’m gonna go to bed because I’m exhausted because I just got back from the football game that I wasn’t able to perform at. Wish me luck I should be getting my surgery in about 2-3 weeks. Thank y’all so much for everything and I hope to see y’all really soon and I’m hoping I can do some dancing in the Carolina theater show.

I love all of y’all even those that don’t know me yet. Good luck this year.  I wish I was with you guys.

ed. - This is the first in a series of journal entries about Mary's trip to China.  It may take me a bit to get them all up but I thought that they would be interesting.

 

Dec 17/18

Monday/Tuesday seemed like aneternity. I woke up at 2:00 in the morning because Gene wanted us to meet atthe airport at 3:00, a good 3 hours before our flight. I was staying with the Hickey's and we left at about 2:15. I was so tired I couldn’t function and Luke couldn’t either. He talked the entire way to the airport trying to keephimself awake. We got there a little early and waited for the rest of the crew.

Mary's Forthcoming (Homecoming) PDF Print E-mail
Written by Mary Doerr

Hey Everyone,

Things have been going great here in Texas.  I have made a lot of new friends since I tried out and made the dance team at Wakeland. Our dance team is called The Legacy Line and I met most of my friends from other grades through it. But not only did I make the dance team, I had my first ever Homecoming this year, or should I say Forthcoming. Since my school is new it does not have any alumi. So they call it Forthcoming.

But anyway it was so much fun, even though we had it in our cafeteria (yeah...I know...our cafeteria) Homecoming probably could not have went any better. No, I did not go with any boy because I didn't know any of the boys really well yet.  Anyway, who needs a date at Homecoming to have fun, right?  I hung out with a bunch of my girl friends and let me tell you, we brought the party.  I had some major cramps after the dance because Homecoming went from 8- 12 am, but I still went to my friend Hillary's house who I had not seen most of the dance because she had a date.  I stayed over night and to top it all of my mom took me for a pedicure.

Well love ya'll lots but I got to go catch a plane.  (ed. - Take a look at some picts from the big event under the photos tab up top.)

gtg. bye

Hear about my visitors that came for New Years.

On the 29th of Dec. our friends from MI came to visit us. They come to visit us every New Years.
My friend Lauren and I made a McFlurry with the set I got for Christmas. Maybe today are going to make cookies for New Years with my new Mrs. Fields Cookbook. Yesterday everyone went to downtown Chapel Hill to go to Sutton's. It is a really good restraunt but it is also a drug store. It was fun to do with 13 other people.

We also played in the park and my dad put up a few pictures on the photo pages here .

My trip to Chicago this past summer PDF Print E-mail
Written by Mary Doerr   
Monday, 13 December 2004 18:00
I went to Chicago for tap because I am part of the North Carolina Youth Tap Ensemble. On the plane ride there I was very talkative. I was so hyper (hoping I had not forgotten anything). When we got there it was 9:00 at night so everyone went to bed except for my friend, Allie and me. The next morning we had dance class until 4:00 or 4:30. We did that every day for 5 days. During that time period we learned new techniques and improvisational skills. We also learned a dance from a Bulgarian dancer named Valeria. We were divided into groups and my group was lead by Valeria. On Friday, we ended up doing a show that we were expecting to do on Saturday, not Friday. But we did great anyway. I even got to start one of the dances. After the show, we went out for ice cream to celebrate. After the show my friend Allie and I stayed in another girl?s room until 3:00 A.M. The next day we went shopping. I got a white shirt, a mini skirt and some disco earrings. That evening we went to an outside mall. I got a Navy hat that said ?Navy Pier? on it. We even went on a Ferris wheel. On the Ferris wheel my friend Kate accidentally dropped her Icee off the top. On Sunday we finally left for home. I was kind of sad to leave Chicago but I was ready. I missed my friends and my family. When I got home, I told all my friends about my Chicago trip. I?m sure I?ll talk about this adventure for many years to come.
