There were a lot of rules that went along with it, such as when and how to bow, step, and the distance from…

When I was four-year-olds, I was placed into dance classes at the Dance Unlimited Studio in Paradis, Louisiana. I meet most of my phenomenal friends in dance class; especially my great friend Maddie. Maddie was two grades above me, so when I was an eighth-grader, she was a sophomore at my current high school. One day during dance class, she hurled her whole body upon me for a hug and squealed in excitement. "Guess what!?" she exclaimed. I replied with a distorted face, and my mouth ajar. "Guard…
