My weekend was pretty amazing. Not only did I have a blast the night before but I also placed third and won $100 in the Talent Hunt Saturday afternoon. I participated in this event last year and came in third as well but my routine was much better than last year; ten times better in fact. I took some time and actually chose a song that meant something to me. I danced to a cover by Ebrahim called "Found My Smile Again". My friend danced to this song in our annual school dance and I instantly fell in love with it. These last few months have been stressful and difficult for me. I have worried about school, senior week, prom, and most importantly college. I have honestly been in a funk for the longest and I have not felt like myself in awhile. Just until recently I sat down and had a heart to heart conversation with my mother and my boyfriend. They both made me realize that I should not be worried about anything. I have great grades considering the fact that I am in the top 5% of my class and I have received acceptance into every school that I have applied to. They both said that I should relax and just enjoy my last few months of high school. They were right and I'm glad I listened to them. My routine was basically dedicated to them because without their advice I would still be depressed.
This picture is a terrible quality but here is a photo of the member of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity and myself. The founder of the fraternity is the gentlemen to the left of me in the black suit. When we posing for the picture he commented, "My goodness you have so much energy. You're a dancing machine," I could not do anything but laugh and smile.
Even though I did not come in first place, I am still proud of my accomplishment. Everyone of the other contestants worked hard and Aaron deserved first place, his piano skills were very impressive!
This was my last year competing in the Talent Hunt because only high schoolers are eligible to participate. Hopefully next year my younger brother can show his dancing or "singing" skills.
