Today

A passion that I value greatly in my life is dance. I started dancing when I was just three years old, because my mom put me in classes. As a young child, dance was just a hobby I did alongside many other things, such as soccer and baseball. As I grew older, I realized that the only thing I wanted to do was dance, and that's what I've been doing ever since. Dance gives me a way to express myself without using words, but by using movements instead. It is an escape from all the stress and negativity in my life, because all I need to focus on is dancing. It has helped me grow as a person because I learned that I do not need to always worry about what other people think about me, and that my biggest competition is myself. Not just in dance, but in everything I do. Dancing has helped me to feel comfortable in my own skin, which is crucial in living a happy life. I don't know what I would do without it!
