life ~ a photostory

  ~ a life update in the form of a photostory ~ this is truly Julia's aesthetic, entirely by accident, most of her closet is blue and white stripes. she's always either wearing her airplane propeller necklace or her dream necklace, wearing double dutch braids.  Once upon a time, there was a girl named Julia. She was a dreamer, one with a good imagination and wide horizons. Some of her happiest days as a teenager were spent taking photos of dolls, lying in the street to get the perfect angle. Her dolls were like built in friends, companions wherever she went, on trips and vacations and outings.  As she grew up, Julia grew busier and busier, and high school was a lot of work. But she had goals and she did everything she could to reach them. One of them was graduating two years early, which took up a lot of time and energy. After hours upon hours of studying, she finally graduated.  Taking a gap year beginning in 2020, the weirdest year of the century, she had no lack of other thi

"Now, Elizabeth is going to demonstrate tinikling dancing, from the Philippines." Josie announced, leading the girls to the center where I was standing.
 

Everything else was a blur. I thought back to when I had gotten my ankle crushed between the bars and it was broken for six weeks.

Katie and Sam volunteered to do the bamboo clicking stuff.

Sam knelt and reached for the sticks.

They were ready- I wasn't.

I took a deep breath and stood to the left of the sticks.

With a smile on my face, I lifted my skirt and started the routine.

Right foot in, left foot out, right foot out, left foot in, I told myself.

Once I got into the rhythm, it was fun. I whirled and danced, swiftly moving my feet in time with the beat of the sticks crashing against each other.

With an added spin and a hop, I jumped back and forth. When I finished, I was exhausted, but everyone clapped.
Next, Noelle did a ballet demonstration.

As the music began playing, she came to life.



She added another pirouette.


Her flexible addition to her dancing was impressive.

As the music tempo sped up, Noelle performed a grand jete,

Spun,

and finished, with a dramatic flair.
