                          My Accomplishments

      Today I will be presenting about my top three favourite memories and accomplishments. This year was very enjoyable for me because I achieved everything that I wanted to. I received many amazing opportunities this year that have helped me become more confident. My top three memories/accomplishments this year were making it onto the honour roll, performing at the Gala for Manitoba Dance Festival, and completing my ballet exam. These three events helped me gain more skills in different areas and are memories that I will never forget.

      One of my accomplishments was making it onto the honour roll this year.  It felt like a huge accomplishment because this was the first year that we wrote exams. It was one of my goals to make it on honour roll this year, so accomplishing it along with exams was very rewarding.  Through this experience I learned that they weren’t actually hard, as long as you study. I was happy to learn that I had received good marks this term. My family was very proud of me.

      My second accomplishment was making it into the Gala at Manitoba Dance Festival. Manitoba Dance Festival is an annual competition that showcases many of the dance schools in Manitoba. My group received gold for ballet and hip hop. We received gold honours for our jazz, lyrical, and modern dances. We received adjudicator’s choice for our jazz dance with a score of 100. We also received adjudicator’s choice for our lyrical dance. It was exciting to perform at Gala because my group had never made it in before. It was a great performance.

      My third accomplishment was taking my ballet exam this year. I didn’t do it last year because there was no exam for my level, so I didn’t think I would do very well. I felt really nervous because some examiners were stricter than others. There were also a lot of French terms we had to memorize. I was worried that I would mess up or forget certain steps. After I completed mine, I felt like a lot of pressure went away and I felt pretty confident. I was extremely happy to receive a mark of distinction because I worked very hard for it.
