My parents were down the street at my aunt’s house and said that I could have some people over, so that’s exactly what I did. Around eleven girls had came over and we spent the night dancing and singing loudly every word to songs that were overplayed on the radio but still so catchy. When other houses started to shut off their lights, the street lamps went on and our feet were too sore to be used anymore, we lowered the music, all sat around and gossiped—of course because that’s what girls do best. When the night had ended and almost everyone was gone, me and a couple others were so hungry that we were listening to our stomachs grumble, it was as if they were talking to each other about how they needed food. My parents offered to drive us to the Rainbow Diner where I got my favorite dish, french toast and chocolate

I was up walking around everywhere and many people kept coming up to me asking for pictures so that lasted around another two hours. So it was time, I had to prepare myself mentally because there was more people than expected. I had the girls in a straight line and when the music began they danced their way on to the stage. Soon as the song began to my part I danced on to the stage with the other girls. Is was going pretty smoothly but the Dj we had messed up the parts for the music so I had to guide the girls with me to make sure everything goes as planned. The dance took around 5-8 minutes it was really short but we kind of expanded the time. The guest clapped and began to continue to party, around three hours later we had the Father-daughter dance, it was really emotional for me because he was really proud of me because I was becoming a young woman and how he would never forget the first time he held me in his arms. I was just really happy to see him on my special day. Then I danced with my mom who also cried and my godmother and my aunts and uncles, there was just a lot of dancing with my family

there was so many people out there seating in their seats clapping cheering it was amazing. When we start dancing there where so much enthusiasm going through my body I felt exuberant! The stage lights on was perfect with music and the people in their seats cheering, clapping, and really, enjoying themselves and I loved every minute of it. It made me feel special that I was part of something great. Finally, my dream came true to dance and to dance in front of a lot of people and I knew right there that this was not going be my last performance. After we were done, my group and I told each other how much we were proud of each other. Then later we all meet up with our parents and went home with smiles on are faces because it was the best moment of my

Pendleton dance team were all sitting in a circle with big smiles on their faces like as they had already won. They were our biggest competition this competition because our scores were really close first round. When we performed second round most of my teammates were telling us how they messed up which I hated because it made me think

The show was starting in just a few hours and everyone was rushing around making sure nothing would go wrong. The dancers putting on the last of their makeup going through their check-list. “Pointe shoes hair sprayed? Check. Hair hair sprayed? Check. False eyelashes? Not check!". I found myself wandering away from the others to a place where I can get just a minute alone. A minute alone to collect my thoughts before heading into the chaos. My dance was relatively soon so I decided to head back to get ready early. Standing backstage will most likely be the most nerve-racking experience ever. My white dress sparkled due to diamonds sewed onto the bodice. A crown placed in front of my bun made me feel complete. "Listen, you have to seize the moment and stay in it. Use that adrenaline and make this the best you have ever dance. But most importantly, have fun while you are out there. I'm proud of you". With Olivia's words, I get a sense of courage flow me. "Don't worry," I tell her, "I'm not going to throw away my shot". She smiles at me encouragingly. The audience claps and the music ends. Oh dear god it's my turn next. My body goes on autopilot as the music starts. Grand Jeté after Grand Jeté I leap, twirl, and pose my way off the stage; a smile not leaving my face the whole

This moment represented the debut of my senior year dance on dance team. The last dance I would perform with my team. The feeling I got on this day was indescribable. My junior year on dance team was a mess to say the least, and I hated every minute of it. I even strongly considered not coming back for my senior year. I had lost my passion for the sport. Our team had so much drama that it tore our season apart. When I got done performing my dance on November 21st, 2016, I had felt the love I had for this sport for so many years. I thought the love and passion was gone because of how my junior year went. It was at this moment that I felt the love for the sport again. I was glad that I had decided to come back for my last year. I could feel the bond of the team while out on that floor and I knew we were going to have a strong year. To see all the supportive fans greeting us when we walked off the floor made me feel so grateful to be apart of such a great organization. When dance team is over and I reflect back on my season, this will be the most memorable moment I had during my last year on the

When I read a book, I step into a world careening with creative stories, elaborate settings, and earnest characters that worm their way through our hearts of thousands. Other times, I open a book to find myself in someone else’s words, or challenge my limits. There's no denying the power and beauty of literature, but understanding, analyzing, and creating so much power is no easy task. It’s why I'm so eager to join this class. I want to learn further with the best class possible, Advanced Sophomore English. I well understand the difficulty and effort that goes into the challenges of an advanced curriculum/placement, especially the motivation and risks you need as well. Throughout my life, I’ve had firsthand experience/learned many essential skills. In 6th grade, I lead a team of friends to win 1st place in Device Performance in the 2013 Tech Challenge hosted in San Jose Tech Museum where over 600 teams pitted against each other from across the Bay Area. That following year, I was the only selected student to attend Tech Trek, a camp hosted in many universities like Stanford and Sonoma State university dedicated to promoting the math and science field to young students. In 8th grade, I was awarded an English Department Award by my English teacher for my outstanding performance in leadership, writing, reading, discussion, presenting, and more. And most recently, I was not only accepted into our

After I’m dressed the singers start singing and a little after the drum beat follows once the drums start we start dancing to it. We take a break eat but not too much that I have to go to the bathroom during the dance, rest a little then in the evening we do another dance around a big fire that kind of burned my skin. The next morning I woke up at five, rushed to eat my breakfast so I could go dance. Later, towards afternoon the crown dancers came and danced with me. On the third day I got up early again danced, I then had to run in four directions once I start running everyone follows. The first time I ran, I fell; humiliated and wanting to disappear a family member picked me up. She patted me down took my shoulders and looked me in my eyes. They were soft eyes that seemed to have infinite wisdom, in which she shared with me, saying that: Life is full of struggles. Some day, somewhere in the distant future, you will get hurt, you will be in so much pain and you might trip and fall, but the most important

I was sitting at my desk, looking around for any small detail that I thought I may have missed. Everything looked organized and the way my roommate and I wanted it to look. I looked at him and told him “this is our new home for a year”. Every upcoming college student dreams about moving day and my time was coming soon. Three weeks prior to move in day, I began organizing and preparing for what was coming, “What are the most important things I should bring”, “How much is the trip going to cost?”, all these questions began to rush towards my head at once and if it wasn’t for the help of my mom, I wouldn’t have been able to organize myself and pack for college.

I was relieved to see that my group members seemed nice, since I was already the most terrified I had ever been in my whole life. My heart was pounding so fast and I could hardly stay standing. This is what you’ve been waiting for. You need to do this. This day, this moment, would change my whole high school experience. It was the day of the coed choreo dance team audition. A group of three people at a time would go in for their single chance to be accepted into the best team in the world.

Every year, Valley High School dance classes perform different dances during the spring dance concert. This year the concert title was ¨Dancepirations¨ and was performed two days, April 26th and 27th. As a student taking beginning dance, I was part of this year's dance concert. My dance class and I spent months learning and practicing the choreography that Ms. Torres, Yanell, and Yessenia created for us. It was a hip hop dance using Jennifer Lopez’s songs. Our costume also was chosen for them, it was a blue overall with a yellow mustard or burgundy t-shirt. This was an amazing experience where we realized how capable of dance we are and where we learned lessons of great value.

Last year at my dance recital, the craziest thing happened to me. The day started out like this: I woke up, went to a last minute rehearsal for the ballet, and then prepared myself for the show that night. And then while I waited in anticipation for hours to fly by so I could check in at the theater, I got my makeup done and put my hair in a low flat bun for the first dance I had. I also made copies of the pictures at dress rehearsal for all the teachers. After the time got closer, my dad and I went to the theater to check in. Once I got there, I dropped my costumes off in the dressing room, and then went to the stage to get the last minute corrections from my ballet teacher, Ms. Lainie. When all of the dancers got on the stage, she gave the

I am particularly proud of the fact that I did well in my event during track season. I was asked by the track coach to run in an event that I have never done before--300 meter hurdles. At the beginning of the season my times were slow and my technique was poor. I watched the other hurdlers and emulated their effort. I took direction from the coach. As the season progressed, my times steadily improved. At the end of the season I competed for a spot in the regional finals. I am happy that I competed even though I didn’t make the finals. This experience demonstrates my self motivation, my ability to overcome stress and a degree of competence I didn’t know I had in a sport in which success is largely determined by individual effort. At

It was the final night Liam would be able to do this since tomorrow was his first day of high school. He would no longer be able to spend countless hours binge watching his favorite show or practicing his dance moves. Today, his first day of high school would begin. To Liam, this was a new beginning.This would be the year he decided to pursue his love for dance.
