This Year to Me

This year has been a great experience to me. I am only a sophomore and I have done things I never thought I'd have the chance to do during my high school career. I was able to join my High School Ballroom Team, go to State Convention again as a District Finalist in FFA Science Fair, I took classes that pushed my brain to work harder and I also dissect a frog(wait I made my partner Sam do that. I got sick. He absolutely tore it apart. And I bet you can imagine the horror on my (green-like) face), but although those things were great and fantastic I struggled.A LOT!
I started out in social dance as a girl who just happened to love to dance. I dance after school with a dance teacher that I adore. She has taught me that although I get injured a ton I am still a graceful dancer. I ended up taking a spot on the ballroom dance team to help out a friend who needed a partner at the time. I worked my butt off to get the routines down for the Christmas recital. With only two weeks of being on the team, the recital came and I did it. My partner and I did a great job and we made our coach and team proud. I am truly grateful that I had the opportunity to work with such a great group of people, a great coach and a wonderful dance partner. I'm sad that I won't be doing it next year, but I had a blast at least.
State Convention was a great experience again this year seeing as I convinced my friend to come with me so I wasn't the only one showing off our science project. She may have stayed only one night but she made the trip worth it. The jokes on the bus were hysterical. Would you rather games ended up breaking the silence well not quite(I think the snoring that was coming from the girl sharing the room with us was pretty funny). We didn't place at state, but who really cares. All that matters is that we had fun, right? I think so.
Haha letting Sam dissect the frog was probably a bad idea. He tore it to shreds. Which made me sick to my stomach. Good thing our Biology teacher is nice. She understood why I became sick(I had to look at it!) Nastiest thing I have ever seen. It smelt nasty too! Well I'm making myself sick just thinking about it again. So I'm going to stop talking about it.
I am so glad this year is almost over, but upset that it leaves me with only two years left of school after this year. I can't wait though to see what else the world has to offer me.
