My Life Graph



This is a picture of my life graph here is an article about one of the things that is listed on it.
Last year in May me and my whole dance company went to Long Beach, California for a R.D.A (Regional Dance America) festival. It was my second year being a junior in the company and my first time going to a festival. On the first day there were like 65 kids in one dance studio about 60 girls and 5 boys I,m not exactly sure, but anyway it,s kind of hard to dance around the room without smacking someone in the face which happened to a few people (it was kind of funny). When we would go to have lunch which was kind of like eating hot lunch at school (there was just better food) the line was so long it wrapped all the way around the building where they held the food it was crazy you had to like run out of class to get even remotely close to the front of the line.
Every night after we went back to the hotel everyone would wear dresses a
nd go to the colleges theater and watch some of the different companies dance, every night there would be different performances from different dancers. Each night the food would be a different theme one night it was Mexican, the second it was Chinese, and the third we went to the beach. The hotel we decided not to stay in that all the other dancers had to was horrible. There was a flight of stairs that had a sign next to it that pretty much said if you are injured or die by going down these stairs the hotel was not responsible, but it wasn't crossed off or anything so if you couldn't read or didn't see the sign you might die. You never wanted to look at the ceiling because there was cracks and this weird brown stuff all over it. The food we had there was pretty bad but it could have been worse i don't think I had ever actually been afraid to eat before then, but at least we didn't have to sleep there.

Hey Elli this is Jake L the cool kid(Dane backpack is magical). The dance camp sounds fun. The food line sounds very very long i don't think i can live to wait for food that long. Also the stairs does not sound safe. I think ill come to the camp next time:].

Hey Elli. This is Anna! The time you spent at the dance studio and the hotel sounds exciting but I would not survive with food issues like the ones you had. Your writing was very descriptive and I learned thing just from reading your entry. I also understood how fun it was for you and that almost makes me want to dance(fat chance)!

Hey Ellie!! It's Eva! That trip sounded like it was a lot of fun, but the food part sounded a little hard to handle. Your entry was really good and fun to read. I can't believe you guys were smacking each other in the face while you were dancing. That doesn't sound fun! The stairs sign is kind of funny. What would happen if you didn't see it? I can't believe you take so many dance classes and i think two is hard! :)

Elli, hey! I can't remember... was that the first festival you went to?
It sounds fabulous! Who got what parts in the nutcracker for dance? I
don't think Jacquie's found a place to dance in Italy yet. Then again, she did just get there.

Going to California sounds really fun!
You should teach me some of your moves.... Since I eat all the time, I could never wait that long. I bet the hotel was really nice.
I will totally go next year!!!!
