Today was my sixteenth birthday!! We went to church then the Met. I could spend days or even weeks in there! We saw everything we wanted to see though. We saw Egyptian stuff, a Stradivarius, Greek sculptures, modern art of course, Degas, African art, impressionist, a special exhibit called Chaos to Couture that was basically punk rock outfits on mannequins and some neat armor. After that we found a sophisticated Thai restaurant. We thought my drink might be alcoholic but we got a new one and the waiter assured us it wasn't, I was so scared! Haha. The food was so good and Ruby, despite spilling her fresh ginger ale all over, liked it too:) then we went to the High Line. It was one of my favorite parts so far. It is so pretty and neat! We walked down it and back up as the sun started to set. It was magic! Then we came back to our room in Brooklyn and tested for about ten minutes. Next thing: a French creepier within walking distance of our place. I got a banana umbrella crepe with fresh strawberries. It was seriously heavenly. I almost cried. I told my dad out was like heaven started dancing on my tongue. Mmm! :) so now here I am, sixteen. I had a fabulous day and still have so much to look forward to! Thanks for all the birthday wishes!

Good News

Senior year is almost three-fourths over. And I know fourth term is just going to fly by! Moonlight, Spring Concert, Prom, AP tests, college enrollments, Graduation! Speaking of college... I got a housing scholarship to UVU!!!! I am so excited and very surprised. I wasn't really expecting it, and when I refreshed my email on my phone, walking back into Dance Company, I jumped for joy!! The scholarship covers 2/3 of the cost for room. I also have a full tuition scholarship. There are 400 students out of the total 30,000 in the Honors program, 150 are Freshman and 36 Freshman get the housing scholarship. So fees, books, about $200 per month for the apartment and food is all I need to pay. Hopefully, the Regents Scholarship will work out and cover most of that stuff! I'm so humbled, grateful, and excited to be starting this new chapter. I think, deep down I've wanted to go to UVU since my first workshop there. Now this kind of gives me the assertion that it's the right...

Why I Am Choosing To Serve A Mission

Although this is very difficult to articulate, dare I even say impossible, I am going to try! I am choosing to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I will serve for eighteen months. I do not choose where I spend those eighteen months, or even in what language I will speak during that time. I will take a break from school, from my dancing and leave my family. It is a sacrifice. It is a sacrifice I am willing to make because I love my Savior, Jesus Christ. I know that Jesus Christ lived and died for me so that I can repent, learn to love fully, and become like him. To become better and to learn during my lifetime. I know that he died for every one . I know that he knows each of us, individually, and wants us to be happy. Heavenly Father also loves and knows each of us. He has guided and directed me numerous times, in ways that cannot be explained without fully recognizing His divine hand. The relationships, experiences, trials, and blessings I ...

First day of college

Man, the first day was amazing! I don't have class until 9:30, then I walked over (super easy, short walk) and found my modern class easily. We went over questions and syllabus today so no dancing. I really love the faculty and I'm so glad I got to go to workshops here in high school so I'm a little familiar with the program. Then I had technique 2, and we did one across the floor. The two teachers said "okay, we have some people we want to move up to Tech 3 right now...Golda..." I was so happy! Placement happens throughout the week, but I was so happy to get moved up right away! So now I'm in pointe 3 too. I feel so grateful to be able to dance 9:30 to 2:30 every.day. !!!! I didn't get into my first institute class, so I read all the emails from my missionary friends. Mondays are a whole lot better with those! :) My colloquium class was good, then I met up with my roommate who was hanging out with 2 RMs. We went to play ping pong before another Freshman...
