Below is my response to the question:
Finally, all the effort he had put in was beginning to pay off: he was well on his way to becoming a self-taught bamboo dance artist in his community.
For the past six months, he would set his alarm at 5:30 am every morning, so that he could head oft to the city square and have it all to himself. At this hour, nobody was around to mock him for dragging a piece of wood along and pretending it was the bamboo that his feet had to deftly navigate. After weeks of countless slips and missteps, he began to get a hang of this intricate Southeast Asian dance, which he first saw after stumbling upon it in a video on Youtube. This morning in particular, he was surprised at how far above the “bamboo” he could leap. Curiously, his body felt light, not heavy.
He had to stop his practice at 7:30 am sharp, so that he wouldn’t be late for school. It was with resentment that he entered its gates, for now that he had found himself through dance, he finally understood why school was so dreary. The adults who taught him had never poured their heart and soul in anything; to them, boredom was normal, and they honestly thought they were preparing kids for life by suffocating them with boredom and forcing them to get used to it.
