Experiencing the dance life was one of my favorite of all time. Dancing in the auditorium stage hearing the applause and my parents yelling my name was a dream come true. Unfortunately that dream did not last long. Why? I got a job after my sophomore year.…
In addition to finding my life's passion, dance. I decided to start training myself in order to become a member of the dance team at Carlsbad High, ever since then I got carried away and haven't stopped. At the end of my sophomore year I was given the privilege to become a member of the Junior Varsity dance team at Carlsbad High. Being a member of such a wonderful and hardworking team has been one of the most rewarding and unforgettable experiences ever. We attended the Universal Dance Association competition in Orlando, Florida and placed 2nd in the nation.…
My sophomore year of high school, I was accepted into the Saber’s Marching Pride Flag corps. At my high school, all freshmen are required to play their instruments because the music is the most important part of the show. Also, it requires the kids to focus on marching basics, drill reading, and learning how to roll step, different from the flag corps where they jazz walk. I have performed with flag corps for the last three years which were named: Groovy Baby, Muevas Sus Huesos, Seven years. Prior to this, I was not very athletic and had no dance background.…
Dance is a sport I am very passionate about as I have been dancing for fifteen years. In sixth grade I decided I wanted to be a part of my school’s dance team to spread school spirit and entertain crowds during the halftime of football and basketball games. I have been a member of the Marvin Ridge Dance Teams for seven years, and I have made many friendships and memories that will last forever from being a part of such a wonderful athletic team. Dance team has taught me a great deal about teamwork, dedication, and hardwork. Each of the four years that I have been a member of the Marvin Ridge Varsity Dance Team, we have qualified for the National Dance Team Championship in Orlando, Florida.…
The school auditorium is filled with proud parents and the glow of several hundred screens poised to capture the moment their precious stars take the stage. The music starts and a dozen little girls and boys start twirling and craning their necks to watch their dance instructor coach them from the wings. Most of their parents aren't concerned with the dance training their children are receiving. A friend of a friend told them about "Dolly Dinkle's Dance Academy" and so they signed little Susie up,bought her a pink leotard, and told her to have fun at dance class. However, "Dolly Dinkle" is not a qualified dance instructor.…
Then to letter as a Varsity member my next year on the team, was rewarding. It shows that hard work does pay off. This summer I attended Just For Kix camp and was awarded the “Highest Kicks” award. I continue to bring my passion for dance outside of school, devoting over 21 hours a week. Meaning not only do I dance for our High School, but at a local studio as well.…
“Goals determine what you’re going to be.” –Julius Erving. As Erving said, goals shape us to be who we are. Everyone should have goals to help shape us. My goals are to be in the A-B Honor Roll, to improve in dancing, to be inspired, to form more of a relationship with my dad,…

Unfortunately, I have been heavily diagnosed with the excruciating learning disability of dyslexia. All of these negative terms were how I used to interpret the meaning behind this so-called disability. From kindergarten through eighth grade, all of my teachers at the private school I attended, Oregon Episcopal School, were well aware of this quality that made me different than the majority of the students. Imagine falling in a ditch alone and unnoticed struggling to climb out, through many different approaches focussing on how to succeed, I was fortunate enough to have teachers who have helped me build a bridge to get over that ditch. The other side of the bridge seemed too far to see at one point but I was never alone.…

So many people are unaware of what it takes to be a great dancer, and how easy it can be if you put your mind to it and let go.

In my life I have been very fortunate in that my parents have been willing and able to provide for my financial needs so that I have not had to get a full time job. My parents have always said that school was my job, and I have always worked hard to make sure that I do the absolute best I can in school. In high school I took all honors and AP classes, as well as participating in multiple clubs and after school activities, and now in my first year of college I am already a junior with credits and I am working hard to try to graduate in two and a half years. Although I have not had an officially job so far in my life, I have been babysitting for multiple families since I was about 12 or 13 years old. I have watched children ranging from newborns to middle schoolers, and I have watched as many as five…
