One of my greatest accomplishments is working on myself during quarantine whether that be physically or mentally. Don’t get me wrong, learning remotely has done a little bit of damage to my work ethic like how it is harder for me to pay attention but we are all adjusting. Physically I am healthier, I have worked on my image more and how I want to perceive myself or how I want others to perceive me. Mentally I am at peace with who I am and who I want to be. It is just a matter of focusing and getting there. I also gained confidence which is something that I struggled with and learned that my opinion of myself is the one that truly matters. Being better at self-care is probably one of the best things I could have taught myself during these hard times and I will definitely continue doing it in the future.

Ever since I was four, I have always danced. My mother always says she thought I was going to be a ballerina because I always walked around the house on my tippy-toes. I never went to dance school for it though. I remember watching Angelina Ballerina and mimicking the moves that she did. This was the start of something beautiful. I taught myself how to dance by watching my favorite dancers as well as incorporating my own style into the art. As I grew, I became interested in the Hip-Hop and Ballroom scene. I guess you could say I fell out of love with Ballet, but I have acquired a different mindset recently. I am taking Dance 1 at Carver this year, and we are learning Ballet right now. I became excited because I hope that one day I can turn my hobby into a profession. Even though I am better at certain styles, my goal is to be a well-rounded dancer so that I can incorporate all dance elements into my choreographies. Dancing lets me express myself, and it helps me to blow off steam. As a dancer, I entertain people. I can make you feel all types of emotion. I can make you feel mad if I Krump. I can make you feel like your watching a fashion show if I Vogue. I can get you hype if I Break. I can make you happy or sad if I dance Contemporary. That’s why I love dance.
