From the age of two. I have worked on lyrical and classical ballet, contemporary, pointe, hiphop, jazz and tap. When I turned 6 I also started doing gymnastics. During middle school I danced, did gymnastics, softball and soccer. I loved these sports but when I started high school I had to choose one and I chose cheerleading. I chose this sport because not only was it an amazing team athletically, but it was also extremely involved in the community. We have organized fundraisers for less fortunate children several times and have also been able to interact with them every winter. The leadership role on the cheerleading team has taught me so much that we lead the entire student body to have school spirit and respect during football games every Friday night. My senior year I decided to get back into dance and tried out for my high school dance team, and I made it! It has been a true blessing for me to have been shown even more leadership and how to serve others in our school and community. I started my first job my sophomore year of high school and have been doing it ever since. I currently still work there, Enchanted Beach Weddings. In this job I work labor and I am also one of the chief photographers. We organize beautiful weddings on the beach and then I take care of directing them and accompanying the bride and groom and everyone else during the wedding. While I'm doing this, I'm also taking wedding photography. It's an extremely stressful job to have the wedding day experience in your hands and under your control, but I've never had a bad experience and I'm so privileged to be part of such an important day for couples around 75 times a year. In addition to this job, I've always enjoyed earning a little extra money through work... middle of paper... school, work and life in general. I didn't push myself to do my best in high school and especially in my dual enrollment classes. I never thought about my future and started not coming to class. Once I accepted God into my life, Junior Summer, everything changed. I realized that I was on a negative path and God helped me turn my life around. Senior year is going great so far, my grades are the best they've ever been, and I'm as busy as ever with work, school, church, and volunteering. I like it that way, I think staying busy requires me to stay focused and get a lot done, that's the lifestyle I need to adopt in college. Even though that bad moment in high school lowered my grades and performance, making it harder to get into college, I'm grateful it happened so I could learn from it before starting a new chapter in my life, hopefully eventually.
