Reflection

I really thought that this portfolio was a great way to look back on the last two years of being in Menemac and really admiring what I had achieved. I liked this last one especially because it was my offcially last one, and I liked looking at how much I've grown since freshman year. The skills I've learned in Menemac will help me all throughout the next half of my highschool years and beyond.
-Mom and Dad feel free to look at and comment on my GLO portfolio. :)

Journal #31- My Passion

1. My passion is dancing. After 9 years of dancing I have discovered that it is something that I have grown to love. Through the hardships and pain comes through the passion that lies underneath. Every week I cannot wait to get into the studio and feel that adrenalin rush I get from getting my leap higher, or my turns faster. This is my passion.

2. My epxperiences with this passion have been, to be honest pretty minimal. I would, do mall performances and little community event performances. But I really haven't taken to the next level. But I have experienced pain, frustation, and satisfaction after dancing for all these years. I also, experienced dissapointment and a difficult transition form one studio to the next. But this summer I plan to take dancing to the next step and compete with my dance team in the Spot Light Reigonals.

3. In the future I want to take this passion and use it to get into college. I want to possibly get a dancing scholorship to USC, or Berkley. I want to take this passion and challenge myself with it. Pushing myself to take new classes and learn harder tricks. Also I want to learn different styles of dance from around the world and expand my knowledge of the history of dance. I hope to someday travel the world through dance. Even if I don't dance for a living I want to always keep on dancing and have it be a part of my life for many more years to come.
