Why Being A Dancer Inspired Me

To the people who inspired me,

"Dance is a way to find yourself and lose yourself all at the same time" -Unkown

Dance was a big part of my life growing up and is one of the main reasons I am who I am today. From the time I was one until I graduated high school, I took dance, and it has taught me so much throughout the 18 years. Dance taught me life skills that I can use every day like, teamwork and work ethic. I would personally like to thank my dance teachers at Kathy's Dance Arts Studio in Magnolia, AR for allowing me to become a part of your family and teaching me dance of course. You guys have inspired me for the 13 years I was able to compete and I hope that one day I can inspire the children that I have the opportunity to teach the way you guys inspired me. If it was not for dance, I would not be doing something I love while I attend college. Dance gave me the best friends and dance sisters a girl could ask for along with bonds that could never be broken. From being a student in the dance room to being the teacher, I can not wait to see the difference I will be able to make in the students lives I have the opportunity to work with. Dance allowed me to find myself while doing something I love, and I was fortunate enough to be able to showcase my dancing ability at competitions. If you have a little girl I would definitely recommend dance because it has allowed me to become the person I am today. Dance will forever hold a special place in my heart and I have my mom and my dance teachers to thank for that.

Sincerely,

A girl who was inspired

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
