My name is Emily.

我叫艾米丽。

I had been a dancer for quite a long time.

我当舞蹈演员已经很长时间了。

I started studying ballet when I was six years old.

我六岁时开始学习芭蕾舞。

By the time I was nine, I was dancing five days a week.

When I was eighteen, I decided that I really preferred contemporary dance and that I wanted to do it professionally.

当我18岁的时候，我想我真的更喜欢现代舞，我想做专业舞者。

So I applied successfully for the training program at the school of Toronto Dance Theater, and moved to Toronto to attend the program.

所以我成功申请了多伦多舞蹈学院的培训项目，并搬到了多伦多参加了这个项目。

That was the period of time l enjoyed most in Toronto.

I graduated on scholarship and danced professionally for ten years.

我拿着奖学金毕业，并从事舞蹈专业十年。

But after all, those years, I found that dance was gradually becoming something that felt like more of a burden than a joy.

但毕竟，那些年，我发现舞蹈逐渐成为一种感觉更像是一种负担，而不是一种快乐。

I found myself increasingly unwilling to drag myself to dance performances, so I quit.

I do miss dance, often.

But it makes me happy think that I'll never have to go to another training session again.
