We were waiting for the bus to come and then when it did come my friends and I sat in the back and we told jokes, some of us were on social media and the rest of us listened to music.

excel, you need to put your education first. My first year on the Dance Team I received “Most Improved Dancer” award. 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.
