In celebration of the 2016 Summer Olympics, held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, I nominate the ten-time Olympic gold medalist, Simone Biles as Outlier of the Year due to some by-chance opportunities and circumstances. At just 19 years old, Biles has become the most decorated women’s gymnast in the United States. She most likely would not have acquired these honors, had she not attended one school field trip to a gymnastics center, Biles may have never found her calling to gymnastics. She probably…

Growing up in an artistic household,there had never been a time that dance was not present in my life. At an early age, I was exposed to the arts and show business and nothing intrigued me more. I would spend countless hours backstage of my mother’s performances, frolicking in her makeup and playing make-believe. I fell in love with everything the theater had to offer and eventually it became my second home. As I grew older, and my motor skills emerged, nothing and no one could restrain me from…

It’s difficult to exist at this time and not be persuaded and influenced by the imagery we see in today’s society. People are afraid of what could happen. Afraid of what could happen to their future and what they will or how they will become this person who tries. Someone who could try one thing, and immediately become infatuated.

A dancer will then begin to work harder to try reach the next goal.…

This song is meant to represent the people who admire them. The…
