My name is Veronica Avila and i am a dancer. I've been dancing for many years. Dancing has always been a passion for me. The schools i've attended never had just a dance team so i was forced to join cheerleading because i am really good at it. Being the captain in high school was very fun. I choreographed all the routines!
My mom is my personal cheerleader in my life. She encouraged me to dance and cheer. Not being taught how to dance or going to school to be a dancer is hard to put on paper. When you apply for an audition, then show up for the audition the first question is "where did you learn?" That is my least favorite thing about being a dancer. Being able to dance encourages me to help others with my skill.
The most favorite thing of mine is volunteering. I would love to teach others how to dance. So many people want to learn and just the satisfaction of knowing that i can do that is the greatest feeling in the world.

I Hate it when.....
I hate it when people “beat around the bush!” When someone beats around the bush they’re trying to tell you but they just keep going around it. They just want to keep going in circles repeating themselves over and over till you just don’t want to hear it anymore. Either they really want to tell you something good or bad but, if it’s bad they take forever to tell you one small problem. Now, if it’s good then they’re just taking forever to tell you because they don’t want to miss any important detail. For example: a guy that you really like. Your friend hears him talking about you to his friend. Usually she or he will start oh my God so you remember when…. and so on and so fourth.
Personally I think its funny when one of my friends wants to tell me something good that happened and they can’t seem to get it out. On the other hand there’s always the bad situation, you’re ready to cry or ready to fight someone because you don’t really know how to react. As you facial expression begins to change as your friend starts to get closer to final news he or she starts going back out and begins to “beat around the bush” because they’re mostly scared of how you’ll react.
Theirs always that one friend that has all this free time but yet when your free and want to hang out with them they seem to “beat around the bush” for any excuse to get them out of hanging out with you. The most famous one to me is “my mom won’t let me go” but they’re grown and claim that they’re parents don’t control them because they’re adults. In the long run though friends come and go but the real friends stay forever, so the friends that “beat around the bush” for a bad reason aren’t worth keeping because they won’t be there for you like the ones that don’t.

Holidays!!!
What do the holidays mean to you? Why is it so important to most people? What are two things that disappointed you during the holidays? Normally when you think of the holidays you think spending time with your family, a vacation from school or work, and a reason to eat or get presents when it’s not your birthday. Not my family! Two things that disappointed me during the holidays was that I didn’t get to spend enough time with my family, and that the holidays really don’t mean the same things they did when I was younger.
Spending time with my family has always been of importance to me. I think the holidays are just extra hours to spend time and enjoy it. My family isn’t too big on the meaning of the holidays let alone the meaning of anything. Maybe a two or three hours is enough time to spend with them because that’s usually all the time we spend. It’s usually not enough for me, my family doesn’t like to go out like I do or sit and chat they just like to sit down watch a movie and when it’s done that means it’s time for you to leave. But during my 18 years of living, spending a lot of time with my family has yet to happen. The only “quality time” we spend together is when it’s someone’s birthday or it’s a really big holiday like Christmas or Thanksgiving. It makes me angry when that’s the only convenient time for them. I’ve lived in this “new” house for about 5 years but to them it’s still very “new” because the rest of my family has only been there twice. Every holiday or birthday we must go over to my family’s because it’s impossible for them to come to my house so they say.
Being apart of my family is a great thing, being apart of any family is even better but there are just some things I don’t agree with. My immediate family is so different from my grandmother, my aunts, and cousins. They love to just stay home and not do anything. They love to be in a cluttered space. They love being bored in front of the television, but my mom, my twin brother, my stepfather and I love the outdoors. We love to take trips and explore. Sometimes we just like to spend it with each other and sometimes we would really love to be alone, but for the most part we want to be together. My grandmother, my aunts, and my cousins just like to stay home and I guess it’s just something I need to adjust too for the rest of my life because it doesn’t look like they’ll be changing anytime soon if I’m already 18 years old.
Personally I love the holidays. Even though I don’t get to spend the time I want with my family I try to make the most of it. My family is weird in its own way but I love them for who they are even though they make me angry. I try to explain to them that opening gifts isn’t just all of Christmas or eating turkey isn’t all of Thanksgiving.
