~Tip over tuck (bend forward and touch your toes with a straight back and feet together)
~Head to knee (put one foot out and your other foot to your knee and the bend forward with a straight back putting your head to your knee, do for both legs)
~Straddle (go as far into the splits as you can and sit. walk your hand out so as far as you can while keeping your back straight)
~Foot to wall (while standing put the bottom of your foot to the wall, do one foot at a time)
~Butterfly (while sitting put the bottoms of your feet together, with you hands on your ankle, NOT YOUR FEET, pull you feet in towards your groin, and use your elbows to push you knees down)


-These are just some of the workouts and stretches you can do! There are a billion more stretches i just do not want to list them all! Please comment if you have any questions or you can google the names (most of which are universal)

Harsh Reality

Life is not fair... it sucks i know but it is simply the truth.

How is it not fair for me, well you know my life is perfect!

 Money and Debt
Money is slim for me, which is hard because it seems like everyone at my school has billionaire parents. My parents have had debts, which has taught me to save money, I NEVER want to be in debt so i am saving for my future now. When I go to the bowling alley my friends ask, why don't you ever bring money to buy food, because I don't have any money! Literally we have money for food, when i learn about more debt in my family i feel angry because everyone else goes to the movies every week and buys new clothes and have stay at home moms! They say "I wonder what my mommy packed me for lunch today!" or "do you like my hair my mom did it!" what are you three?! Practically all my clothes are clearance or handy-downs. But it has made me cautious about money and I have learned to shop sells.

Dance
I love dance with all my heart, but it is extremely expensive!  I have to buy my dance shoes, and my mom and grandma pay for the $42 lessons. Dance is the  only thing of mine that my mom pays for. I also really want to be good at dancing but i tend to feel as if i suck! But i guess that is more of a confidence problem.

School
Everyday we go top school for 7 hours, which is great and all but the thing i hate is homework and studying! I think teachers talk everyday and ask each other "oh your giving them lots of homework i will too!" or "you have assigned them a big project that is worth half their grade? I think i will to!" Luckily for me i understand school and it is easy but i honestly feel sorry for people who don't understand. Although i do not in the least feel sorry for the kid in Earth Science today who when the teacher asked him a question because he didn't take any of the notes the teacher just gave us or even listen while she explained it all to us! It is a no DA if you don't try you will never have a chance of a good grade.

Divorce
Ever since i was three my parents have been divorced. Nothing i can do about that, then when i was 5 my mom remarried an alcoholic, and divorced him when I was 8. She has recently remarried and that is the reason I moved. I used to live five hours from my dad which is a long drive, now i live eleven hours from him. I already didn't get to seem him very much but now I only get to see him Christmas break, maybe Spring break and Summer break, three times a year! I get to talk to my dad but that is all. Divorce is never, ever fair for the children but hey life isn't fair, is it? I once said if I didn't know life is never fair I would have tantrum!


If life was fair we would never learn. For example I know i never want debt and I have learned to save money. Also I want to find the person I love and start forever with him (someday) and I never ever want him to leave my side. <3

Dance is my Life

When I hear the beat
 I start to move my feet
my heart jumps and I do too
I'm living life again
hoping the song will not end\
I am strong and elegant
I'm filled with joy 
I close my eyes I'm by myself
the crowd is cheering loud 
I am confident
Dance is my life  
by Aime Brandon 2011

Without dance I am only a smart girl, I don't have confidence. I lose a part of myself, when ever i hear music I want to dance with my soul and heart. From Dacne i have learned...
