Personal Narrative: The Spasmodic Crew

Improved Essays
In a dim black room, an undisguised roars from afar. For every step I take, my heart pounds against my chest. The luminous light follows where I go; I think I’m sweating a little bit. My eyes wander as I settle into my position. The stage itself is too big for me. I see friends who I can say I hate, at the same time I love them as a team member. As a crew we send a message, this is our night, through a smile to each one. This is the destination where I worked hard to lead everyone to here. And once the beat drops, we dance to our heart contents. In a couple of months, it’ll be the sixth year since I found the Spasmodic Crew. The innocent interest of dance became something more serious, I became obsessed with a burning passion. At times

    Loud beats, shouts and footsteps fill my ears, and an awful stench of sweat makes it’s way into my nose, but this dance studio is a special place nonetheless. It may seem hectic and rowdy to some people, but not to me. An environment I entered so cautiously at first started to become natural and safe. I had never thought I would spend so much time in this place doing something I loved. I would not forget how the first day went.…

    Recently, I had the pleasure of seeing the performance The Future's So Bright performed beautifully by the Castilleja Dance Department and Production Workshop at Castilleja Private School. At first glance, this performance space looked like an average stage in a small auditorium, yet then the lights dimmed and it turned into a bright, musical, spectacular performance of dance. Prior to the actual dance, the school put together a well written slide show to help the audience visualize the issue of focus, which was to help create a better learning environment in east Palo Alto. After this was shown a wonderful ensemble of dancers proceeded onto the stage. The upbeat music started playing and all the dancers began to carry out many exciting and…

    The pain began slowly, pricking me with its sharp needles only while doing barre in ballet once a week. I ignored it, believing it to be normal, common discomfort that would soon go away, typical thoughts of a dancer whose entire sport is centered around “good pain”. Six months later, it had escalated to the degree that every step I took felt like an arrow to my knee. Dancing had become impossible, and it was determined that I should be taken to the orthopedist. The bland, brown and beige lobby became extraordinarily familiar as I waited two hours to be examined.…

    As a child growing up in Rhode Island, the smallest state in the Union, the idea of a vast planet brimming with civilization and culture was more like something out of a fairy tale than it was reality. So, when my father announced that we would be leaving the country to go to Scotland, the home of his and my ancestors, my world began to expand at a rapid pace. This trip could not have been timed more perfectly. The summer of 2007 marked the end of fourth grade, my first year at Saint Mary Academy Bay View.…

    I joined Anchor Club as a follower. I attended my first club meeting with a friend and committed without hesitation. For years, I had been one of those people who would or wouldn’t do something based on the amount of friends I had participating in the same thing. By sophomore year, this began to change. By junior year, that part of me was almost nonexistent – and now, I find myself to be an entirely different person, not basing my own actions on others, and being confident in myself, encouraging new experiences of my own.…

It had been like this all summer.…

    At a younger age, I would say I believed that I can only trust myself and my mother, this is because as a little kid my mom would always tell me that there are bad people in the world and that giving them any information about anything can be very harmful. But as I grew up and realized what was actually happening in my country I knew there were millions of others that were suffering against the “bad people” and we could only do something about it if the whole community came together to help. It was at that time when I was about 25, when I started to put some effort into trying to establish more just conditions within my country especially after the implication of extremely high food prices. This is when I started my first strike involving my…
