By Sixth-Grade Blogger Dior Halum
After a long day of learning and sitting and listening, Dior Halum jumps into extra-curricular activities. Like many of us, Dior embraces activities that make her move. Dior does Soccer and Dance after school. In Soccer, she plays left forward. In Dance, she studies different genres: such as Jazz, Hip Hop, and Ballet. She’s busy.
Dance
I study at Dance Dimensions in Palm Desert, California. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have rehearsals for our winter and summer performances. We start in August to practice for the first performance which is called the Winter Show. We perform at the Civic Center in Palm Desert, California, in December. In the new year, our dance instructors make a new dance that we perform at Agua Caliente in early summer. On Tuesdays, I have ballet rehearsal from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. with ballet teacher Mr. Tiron. After ballet, I have Jazz from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. with teacher Ms. Maddie. On Thursdays, I have Hip Hop from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. again with Ms. Maddie. Then, from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m., I have ballet again with Mr. Tiron. My ultimate favorite dance genre is Ballet because I have been taking it since I was four years old. Another reason Ballet is my favorite is because it helps a lot with technique. It helps with technique because as you do more stuff, the better it gets, and you learn from your mistakes. So, as you can see, I’m pretty busy with dancing, but there’s more . . .
Soccer
On Mondays and Wednesdays, I practice Soccer from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Hovley Soccer Park. From 5:00 to 6:00 p.m., I have personal training with Coach Rafael. We work on tricks, goal shots, and many other things to help me in my games on Saturdays. From 6:00 to 7:00 p.m., I go to practice with my team. Last season’s coach was Coach Collins. Last season we had 13 players on the team. I play left forward and enjoy scoring very much.
As you can see my days are pretty full, but for me it’s better than sitting around and doing nothing. Doing homework is pretty hard given how much is going on, but I still get it done either before or after sports. Same with eating, I usually do it before or after. What are your days like outside of PVS?
