My name is Emma and I go to Heritage woods high school. I previously went to Summit Middle School. After school every day except for Friday I go to dance and I have been dancing for several years. I dance about nineteen hours a week., My favourite dance styles are hip hop and lyrical, but I also do acro tech, acro performance, ballet , jazz performance, jazz tech, conditioning, tumbling, musical theatre, and production. Also, I used to play soccer, I played for seven years. However, right now I really enjoy playing volleyball. I really like bagels with cream cheese and donuts from Tim Hortons, and I really don’t like bell peppers. I also enjoy baking and cooking. One of my goals in the future is to buy a “Mini Cooper” car. Preferably dark silver with light silver sports stripes. Another goal is to eventually go to the Bahamas. I hope that in the future I will further my hobbies and make my goals reality.

Favourite quote:

“You’re off to great places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, so… get on your way!”-Dr. Suess

I choose this quote because it shows that no matter what happens, all will end up okay. You should seize the moment and take the chances you get, because you will eventually get to where you want to be. It encourages me to rise up, and know that I can be successful. It also proves that I should not procrastinate, and I should live everyday to it’s fullest. I should take everyday as a new chance to get to the top of my own mountain.

This photo impacted me because I put many hours into dance, and I really enjoy. Ballet takes a lot of focus and dedication, and it shows me that if you work very hard for something, you will eventually reach your goal. For example if you stay dedicated, and you focus you can eventually get on pointe, like the photo. This photo shows me that if I apply what I learn, good things will happen. Also, I use dance as a way to handle stress, and my problems and this photo is about dance.

I chose this video because it is about two people and how their phones are distracting them from seeing each other face to face. It impacted me because I feel like this is what is happening in society right now because people are getting so caught up with their phones, technology, texting, etc. that they neglect to talk to people to their faces. I feel like this is a big problem that is going on right now because when people are with each other they often just go on their phone instead of talking to each other, or they talk to each other on social media, where the are unable to show real emotion. Additionally, this video impacted me because the two dancers are very talented, and they showed that you can portray big messages through dance.

My favourite website: http://netflix.com/ca/

Netflix is my favourite website because I can watch show to pass the time. I like to watch T.V because I can learn from it and it can relieve stress. Netflix has a huge variety of  shows and movies for me to watch. I have found many good shows and movies from it.
