At this gathering I learned more about my mentor Cristina which created a closer bond. This also helped me understand why she chose to become a STARS mentor and I grew a lot of respect for her.

dance has been there for me as something to destress which is why I usually go home on the weekends for class. I am also a part of the company and having this status makes me proud of my work.
