dad and sister found out. So I suppose that the original reason for keeping it secret was to avoid pressure in the competitions Later, when I got older, I told some friends but only the closest ones, because I didn't want people to think I had a big ego. I mean, can you imagine meeting somebody at a party and telling them that you were the US tango champion? They'd think you were just trying to impress them or something. Luckily, I don't look much like a tango dancer so I can keep it a secrei pretty easily I think that the most important thing when you're good at something is to know that youre good at it, not tell everyone about it.
