            Hi this is Tessa, I think that you are a really cool individual and would love to get to know you better. You should defonately look into jioning my blog so we can keep in touch. I think it's way cool that you want to study dead peoples bones when you get older, but for me personally I would be freaked out. I want to live in New York or Bonston too but I want to perform prefessionally while I'm there. Overall Daysi I have enjoyed getting to know you and hope to get to know you better in the future!

Why I Dance!

                "There is a bit of insanity in dancing that does everybody a great deal of good."  ~Edwin Denby. People ask me all the time why I dance, and how I stay so committed. I respond  "I can't stop loving it,"  and I never really knew why I loved it so much until now, now that think about it. I dance for relief, I dance for others joy, I dance to deliver a message, I dance to praise God, I dance to celebrate life, I dance when nothing else can cheer me up, I dance when nothing other than my body can tell a story or show an emotion that only pure movement can portray! I love to dance I love to move and spin, swirl, glide, and jump for joy. I can't picture a single perfect day that doesn't have dance in it, I love it too much. I have been dancing for 6 years and it never seems to get old. There's always something you can add to make it mean more, so it can touch peoples lives!

            With all the  different kinds of people in this world there are many styles of dance so we as dancers can touch everyone that watches when we dance. The styles I personally do are: ballet, modern, jazz, contemporary, lyrical, tap, and hip-hop and ballroom a little, and I have taken African and Irish dance but not seriously. I love it, but it takes a lot of time and dedication and passion. I train 8 hours after school, but that's not counting what I do in school in my show choir, dance, ballroom, and hip-hop companies. Ya it gets crazy but I love it!

            I honestly would not be able to describe in words what dance feels like. You're on stage and it feels like it's just you; even though there are people watching and other dancers on stage with you. It's a truly amazing feeling that you couldn't get from doing anything except dance, and that's why I dance! Dance inspires me to be a better person each day and to set goals and to get them. It has taught me to work hard and go for anything I want in life.

            My dance teachers inspire me a lot and help me reach my goals and soon dreams. I hope I will go far in dance with everything I have learned from it. I want to become a professional performer, and just perform all the time everywhere. Then I want to get a degree in dance ed. and teach at or start a studio. My biggest goal is that someday I can become the kind of dancer that when people watch me they have true happiness! In closing I want to say that I hope I made you want to get up and dance so you can find the same joy I feel every day!     

Goals- Eulogy

Goals- Eulogy

            Knowing that my mother wouldn’t want me to cry is the only thing that is keeping me from it right now. My mom was an amazing person and I know she's going somewhere better than this earth that we all have to pass from eventually. My mother, Tessa was more than just a mom to many of us here today, her counsel and companionship was priceless. And as we look back on her life I hope we remember her as someone that will be remembered through the ages as someone that fulfilled all her obligations and responsibilities. When I think of my mom one thing that I think of is how she would always treat people with love. Even when she was busy she would make time for others to help and serve them. She was a good example of service to all those around her. We all can think of a memory with her where she lifted and strengthened others through her experience. She was a Christ like teacher and friend, and her influence on children was especially good.

            Tessa was a dreamer, she loved to perform and be happy and you could tell when you were around her. She was very talented and liked to bring others joy through her abilities. I bet all of us here have seen her perform at least once in our lives and can all say she loved to dance and sing and she spent her time well doing it.  

             In my life personally I just want to acknowledge how great of a mom she was and how much she taught me about life through her silent example. I look up to her so much because she was never afraid to meet new people and teach them too. She was always teaching helping and lifting wherever she went. She was strong to her beliefs and always stood firm in her faith even through trials. In trails she was even more optimistic than in good times. Her faith never stopped amazing me. She truly led a life of legacy. I hope we can become more like her by following her example.
