The Red Corner: You Failed

• April 2018
FAIL! We have all done it—a driver’s test, a job interview or a phone text to the wrong person. But what happens when a 14-year-old ballerina hears those words for the first time? Debbie Calicetto, now a 49-year-old dance instructor, talks about her first encounter with failure. What does a teen girl do when a letter with the “You Failed Red Corner” arrives? She does what any teenager would do—she decides she is worthless. But what she didn’t know was that the red corner would change her perception of failure forever.
