Ballerina

This is one of the worst things in America, that has changed everything for kids to adults, it new technology. Not saying the technology such as curing cancer, the technology that is destroying people’s life. Social media, with Facebook, twitter and many more. It is taking up most of the time that anybody has, because their faces are glued to the phone. People are going to start missing the things in the world that are important, because their noses are in their phones. It has became to much,…

Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. While most little girls were daydreaming of becoming a ballerina or a princess, I was dreaming of being a cowgirl. I started taking riding lessons when I was five years old and it’s something that I still absolutely adore. Being so young when I started, I’m honestly not sure how I managed to do much of anything with the horses, but what I do know is that I enjoyed every single second that I spent at the barn. The smell of horses…

24”, 28”, 37” are the measurement of a fat girl, who is unworthy of her own love. I started recording everything in a small black composition notebook. Open the pages and it would look like a personal trainer threw up in it. Every page replete with different workouts, measurements, diets, meal plans, critiques about what I could do better next week, and what I should work on for tomorrow. No one knew where it hid under my bed next to my measuring tape, and elementary school art projects. It…

independently. Now I am able to backpack in mountainous wilderness areas and send complex climbing routes. Through my own tenacity and perseverance, I regained the balance, strength, and stamina to slalom ski on a placid lake with the grace of a ballerina. Emotional regulation and stability returned following exhausting neurofeedback therapy. As recently as 2010, reading and understanding anything more complex than a simple recipe was a lofty goal. Today I devour graduate level…

Everyone has a goal, but what exactly is a goal? One definition of the word goal is “the object of a person's ambition or effort; an aim or desired result”. So, one might ask themselves, is a goal a short term ambition or something we strive to reach by the end of our lives? Do we set small ones along the way that lead to a bigger one or just one giant goal? There are many ways to define a goal and what it means. I believe we should each have the power to define goal as it relates to our self…

change countdown had ended and left me with two choices: leave my colleagues to improvise a previously well-choreographed finale or get creative quick. I chose the latter, pulled on my black tights, and ditched my black pointe shoes. From the prima ballerinas to the corps de ballet to the extras decorating the periphery of the stage, everyone listed in the program fulfills an integral role and must be present for the performance to unfold as intended. The same applies to medicine. Individuals of…

head. His thoughts fled in panic, like bandits from a burglar alarm” (1). A buzzing sound went to his brain so that he didn’t have an unfair advantage to others who weren’t as intelligent then he. Another example is after Harrison Bergeron and the ballerina were killed. A double-barreled shotgun was fired at them. Soon after the occurrence, Hazel and George forgot what happened; as to assume everyone else did as well. At the end of the story a noise goes through George’s hearing-aids, “He…

Pierre Bourdieu analyzes capitalism, in its different forms, but establishes an overarching definition of the word capital. Bourdieu states capital is labor gather, either materialized or embodied form, in which, when used it becomes an idea brought to life and the social world puts normalizes its function. Not only does he mention a general definition, but he describes the different types of capital: economic, embodied cultural, objectified, institutionalized cultural, and social capital.…

If someone would have asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up when I was in elementary school I would have told them that I wanted to become a ballerina. If I was asked the same question in middle school I would have told the individual that I wanted to become a fashion or an interior designer. However, if anyone asked me what I wanted to do after college while I was in high school I would have smiled and said I want to be a teacher. Every time I told someone that I wanted to be a teacher, I…

Comparing Romanic and Victorian Era Dancing Dance is an aspect of culture, and just like any other culture it changes. When reflecting on La Sylphide and various dances created in the 19th century there is a visual shift in how movement is articulated. When comparing IMAGES OF LA STLPHIDE: Two Accounts by a Contemporary Witness of Marie Taglioni's Appearances in St. Petersburg to Politicizing Dance in Late-Victorian Women’s Poetry, it is obvious that dance is still prevalent in society, however…
