Extracurricular: Competitive dance

I am a competitive high-level dancer. I am in a half-day PTD Company program this year. This means that I start at 130, so I have an altered school schedule so I am able to do this. I still have to do school work though, because I do a class online. I have danced ever since I was 3 and have loved it the whole time. I only really started to find my true passion only about 4 years ago, just when I started to really/fully understand how much different it gets when you get older in dance. It gets to this high level of super intense difficult training. I now dance from 130-9 pm some days, but I love every hour of it. Most of the time at least. I am always getting little injuries but it never stops me unless I am literally broken. My passion for dance will only keep growing as I keep learning and achieving my little goals and seeing my progressions. One of my favorite parts of my dance life other than performing/competing would have to be seeing achievements. Nothing is more self-uplifting then having anyone or even yourself say that you have even just done a little or huge improvement. It also shows me that I am capable and to stop pushing myself down when things get tuff because I can achieve and progress. Along with my training, I learn some life skills. Dance is a great way to learn discipline, dedication, independence at times, motivation and even responsibilities.
