I. Summary

Sinderela, a classic fairytale with elements of love, magic, wishes, and dance resulted in a

fun and enchanted ballet production last December 2, 2012 at the Aliw Theatre. In Sinderela, the

prince becomes Al Principe, a matinee idol who holds a dance search for her leading lady. With

the eagerness of Sinderelas wicked sisters, they planned to enrol in a ballet workshop. As

Sinderela watches them dance, she was able to pick-up the steps and practice it. One day, when

Sinderela was cleaning she saw a beggar with an apple. Without hesitation, Sinderela gave her

the fruit not knowing that the lady is her fairy godmother. With the help of her godmother, Tita

Nia, Sinderela was able to show off her dancing skills which are far more refined than those of

her wicked stepsisters. Her stepsisters cannot accept the fact that Sinderelas dancing skills were

more refined than them. They tried to bribe the ballet instructor to teach them more patiently.

They also begged for Al Principes assistant to pick them as his leading ladies but fate and

destiny conspired to Sinderelas luck. At the grand audition day where all the ballerinas and

leading lady aspirant went, each of them showcased their moves to attract Al Principe. They

were all dancing round and round but none of them had the chance to be Al Principes leading

lady. The stepsisters together with their mother also came and had their auditions. Despite having

ballet tutorials, they were not fortunate enough to be picked as the leading lady of the matinee

idol. They were all furious and frustrated including the prince because none of them were able to

reach his standards. The judgement came when Sinderela arrived at the audition. She was loved

by other guys because of her grace in dancing. Al Principe was also stunned by her and was

chosen to be his leading lady. But as the typical Cinderella story goes, Sinderela left her slippers

at the audition house because of this, the prince was cheerless but he never lose hope and was

able to find the owner of the slippers. They had the chance to show their gift of dancing and lived

happily ever after.

II. Insight

Knowing the story of Cinderella (Sinderela) I was able to give value for patience.

Patience in a way that all of us will also be able to have a spotlight directly pointing at us. It is

never too late to dream that one day, someday, these dreams will turn into a reality. I personally

believe that everyone of us is entitled for dreaming and wishing but not everyone of us is able to

attain it. As what I have read, Goals that are not written down are merely wishes. We as

humans are capable to achieving these wishes. It only lies into our persistence and determination

to be able to reach for it. In contrast to Sinderelas story that was helped by a fairy godmother, us

humans doesnt have one. The only commonality we have with the story is that when Sinderela

had the chance, she grabbed it. She did not stop until she was able to execute the dance perfectly

and she did it with heart thats the reason why she was chosen as the leading lady. In almost all

fairytales, luck was prevalent but in reality it is the least we can cling to in order for us to be

successful and remarkable human beings. Another thing that I would like to give importance to is

the value of giving. In fairytale stories, there are scenes that will test the protagonists ability to

give that was also evident in Sinderela when there was a lady who asked for an apple and later

turned into a fairy. In a mans perspective, we seldom give. We think that giving will make us

lesser individuals. If we give alms to the poor, we think that nothing will be left of us. But let us

remember the teaching of our Dear Lord Jesus Christ that whatever we give will return a hundred

folds for us. I would like to commend those people who share what they have and do not expect

something in return. I would like to make people realize that giving will not make them less

individuals instead an individual with a huge heart greater than any other gold in this world. I

would like people to believe that social status is not a hindrance for dreaming and aiming high

instead a motivation to be more determined in achieving a goal. I would like to tell everyone, my

classmates, my friends, my family, and the people I meet in everyday living that we must live in

positivity that all our wishes and goals will come true only if we use our mind and feel by heart.

That whatever hindrance or challenge that will stop us from aiming high, we should rememberthat God will be our light and guidance and that we should take one step at a time. Goals and

dreams are reflections of who we are. We must attain these goals for us to serve as an inspiration

for others.
