The dance program at my school best represents who I am because over the past four years, I have made strong friendships and have been given many opportunities that have made me a better dancer and person. As an involved member in the program, I have been able to participate in community events such as city-wide parades and Trunk or Treat. I have been selected to participate in dance festivals at local colleges where I was able to take classes from prestigious teachers. My favorite thing about the dance program is that grade does not matter; everyone is friends and everyone helps each other out. When I was a sophomore, I met a senior who was in my class that quickly became a friend and mentor to me. She helped me with school and other problems
