Values is a category I hold close. Through out this first UT year a lot came ready to pounce on me not including how Covid effected everything. So much in my personal life has left me paralyzed. I was sleeping all the time and missing class. I was truly me waking up one morning and remembering who goes before me, walks beside me, and behind me (Christ), to remember I have hope and help.
Sadly I spent time focused in another direction, and it wasn't till towards the end when i woke up a slight bit, started to pull things together. Many areas had already been affected in my life, but nothing irreparable.
Waking up in the morning before I officially start my day, and spending one - on- one time with the Lord, helps me to have a focused mind, and a lot less anxiety by allowing me to give my struggles to him to handle and trusting he will take care of me.
It's been a big lesson that even though I am weak at many times, He is always strong for us when we step out the way and let Him. His love never dissipates and it never fails, witnessing it has been encouraging to say the very least.

Below is a church I've been attending in person and via the internet since I was in the womb. Love love love their grace, guidance, and push toward relationship with God over religion.

Developing ideas was a goal of mine that I actually would consider a success. I had stated I wanted to do more in terms of creating a group involving movement centered around Christ, not not like a praise dance team. I wanted to create a space and time where those who wanted to explore a relationship with Christ had the option to do it through what they love, dance.
This semester I was invited to join as a leader for my Christian fellowship group, one thing they asked of me specifically was to create and lead a small group and maybe on around dance. I was already ahead of them! This semester was trial and error in finding out how I wanted to organize It, and make it something that even those who don't feel they can dance are comfortable being apart of. In the end we had 4-5 meetings for the dance group called Dance IV. And it was a learning experience. I learned I would probably want to have two different level options, intermediate/advanced and beginner/anyone. I Prefer to work with dancers more than not, I want to create space for those who are already dancing, but a place where work becomes release yet spiritually filling for those who seek that.
"Not praise dancing but dancing before our Lord."

My aspirations and goals were to be great at whatever I do and to be multi-disciplined. This semester I felt like I could barely balance the small load I had already been given because of external circumstances. However, at the literal end of the semester I stepped into this goal a bit.
I have always been that individual that was like "ooo I want to do this, but I love doing this as well." So I took an entrepreneurship course this semester and one of the instructors is like that herself! She said "don't wait now is the time," so that day I decided to start gathering information and creating a pitch deck for a start-up company. In my finals week I had scheduled a meeting with all four of my professors and pitched them my idea. I was exciting to be doing something I've always had an interest in, fashion and business. The company I want to start is a distributor company for tall women's clothing.
Not only I have began the steps in a personal business project I have also taken on a video editing job.

One thing that is interesting is this skills and ideas i am developing can be intertwined. One day I could distribute tall women's dance shoes and dance wear; I can and have used some fun video editing with my dance videos.
Though I have taken on a bit more, I don't feel over whelmed like before but I feel on top of things a bit more mentally, currently. And since i'm working on a personal project I love I feel productive and like I'm accomplishing something meaningful to me on top of dance, Which right now is being subdued due to Covid.
