My Bio
Hi, I’m Anita, or at least at school I am. I have found that I act very differently at home than I do at school. When I go home, I’m known as ‘Ani’. I am the oldest child, I always know what’s right, my parents trust me, and I feel comfortable. I express myself however I want and don’t care what my family thinks of me since we all love each other. But when I go to school it’s completely different. I’m a grade 9 who’s still trying to find my way around, I don’t know many people, I don’t feel 100% confident, and sometimes I feel out of place. Although I do love hanging out with my friends I have noticed my persona completely changes subconsciously. I have realized that I would rather be home than anywhere else, it’s like a safe zone. But there is somewhere else where I feel safe, and it’s at my dance studio. Whenever I’m getting ready for class I just know I’m going to have the best time with my friends. We always encourage each other to do our best and I love dancing so much. It makes me feel happy and motivated on days that I just want to burst out crying. I know nobody will judge me there and I know people like me for who I am. Its almost like a second home, I mean I have been going there since was 3. I started off just doing ballet. But when I got a little older I saw some seniors tapping and I knew that was what I wanted to do. Now I look forward to going to tap class the most and its usually the highlight of my day. Another thing that I really enjoy is playing the piano. I’ve been playing since I was 6 and I’ve never really given up on it. I am now level 8 (almost 9), and one day I hope that I will be able to teach beginner piano to little kids. Once you get to know me I think I’m a very funny and nice person to be around. The one question I hate when people ask me is what is your favorite….? I have five different options for food, no idea where to start on my favorite movie and even worse for favorite song. I am very indecisive which is not a great personality trait I guess but I can probably make my mind up eventually. Like favorite music? I would say anything but country. Great answer. While we are speaking of bad habits, I’m also really bad at double checking my tests. I miss easy bonus questions or forget to reduce fractions, but I’m somehow in math and science honours. There are some other little interesting facts about me like I have the cutest bunny ever, I was born in the US, I’m Persian, and I can read books insanely fast if I want to. There is not much to me but I hope you found at least one thing new or interesting about me.
Website
I chose Pinterest as a website I enjoy going to. I like making arts and crafts and sometimes when I get stuck I go on Pinterest and look up ideas. there is so much inspiration on there I can find ideas on anything. I’ve used it to find posters, room décor themes, painting ideas, and many more things. Since I’m not an exceptionally creative person Pinterest helps me a lot when I’m stuck on ideas (which is most of the time) but its a also website to see interesting ways people run their lives and get motivation to make myself better. I’ve just found it has been a really great resource in all aspects of my life and I know it has also helped lots of other people too.
Video
The reason why I chose this video is because dancing is very important to me and over the summer I got lazy and didn’t stretch since we don’t have regular classes. I have lost strength and flexibility in my legs. The reason this is so important to me is because I have never been a naturally flexible person, I need to work hard to gain flexibility. I remember using this exact video when I first wanted to get my splits. I still used it once in a while to maintain my flexibility but now I’m using it everyday since my goal is to have at least 5 inches of over splits by Christmas time and I know this video will help me. I hope that I can achieve my goal but I know it will only happen by working hard.

Quote
Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by it’s ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing its stupid.
Albert Einstein
I found this quote very thoughtful. It really means that you can’t judge everyone by the same ability since everyone has their own strengths and I strongly agree with that.
