Day Care ;*

     I do not think that parents who are working should have to pay for their child to go to day care. I believe this for several reasons.
     One reason is that parents are working hard to make a living for them and their children. Therefore they should have someone support them while they try to do so.
     Being a working parent is really hard to do because they worry about their kids while trying to work. I feel that they should be comfortbale to leave their children with people and to not worry about work. Parents should not have to use the money that they earn to pay someone to take care of the kids that they live life for.
     There would be requirements though because if someone is taking care of someone elses child for more than two to four hours then I think that they should pay them if they are not at work. If someone is not at work and is taking advantage of the care taker, I believe that this should be payed for.
     The day care service should have thorough backgrounds on the parents because if their jobs involve selling themselves or drugs, I believe these people should not be allowed to be provided with the day care service.
     I also believe that this should be a voluntary job because workers might not get paid if all parents are working. This would mean that there is not a certainty that the workers would get paid. Although this would be a downfall, I stll believe that it should be this way because parents should get whatever they need to support and take care of their family.

Performing Arts

     To perform is to carry out. Art is the quality of what is beautiful or of more than significance. Performing arts is EVERYTHING to me. It is love, peace, expression, and life.

     Performing arts consists of dance. Dance is beautiful and should only be performed when it is passionate. Dance should come from the heart not from the mind. Lyrical expresses feelings that are desperate to come out. Ballet is graceful and beautiful. When people think of ballet they think of tip toes and their arms up in a circle but it is so much more. It takes great strength and determination to do ballet. Ballerinas just make it look easy. There is also contemporary, jazz, tap, and hip hop.

     Performing arts consists of acting. I think that acting is amazing because being serious is hard for me to do and it takes talent to pull off a show. When people dance, acting is a big part of it because your facial features need to show the main or happiness in a lyrical or contemporary dance. Judges in dance think the face should tell a story. If not the dance will look pathetic.

     Last but definitely not least is singing. Singing is like nothing else in my life. It cheers me up when I am down, finds me when I am lost, and loves me when I am alone. I love all types of music. Singing is my escape from all the crazy times I have been through. I cam express happiness, freedom, loneliness, sadness, any emotion really.

     Performing arts is my life. All I want from this life is to dance, act, and sing for the rest of time. My passion for this dream is what drives me to better myself in all I do. I realize I will never be perfect in any of these three things, but I know I will strive for the perfection and put in 200% of my effort every second of the day, 24/7, 365. One day I will make everyone that I have met be proud to tell people "I know that girl!"

Summer Time(:

     Something I did a lot during summer was lay down and watch Netflix. I would grab my Disney Princess blanket that I've had since I was ten, turn on my Wii, grab the Wii remote, and sit down on the brown couch in the living room. Finally, I would go to Netflix and click on "A" and wait for it to tell me that it couldn't find a connection.
     I also did ballet over the summer. I started on July 3rd. Before I went I would put on my tights, leotard, and wrap skirt. I also had to have a super tight bun with no fly aways, so yes I did look bald. Finally, I put on my ballet slippers and tip-toed to my brothers Nisson 300zx turbo and went on my way to the Midwest School of Ballet in Amherst. There I did kicks, spins, jumps, and stretches.
     The funnest thing I did over summer was actually only three days before school started. Jasmine, Ambra, Sarah, Justin, Rudolfo, Rudolfo's friend, and I had a bonfire. I was forced to do my hair as if someone important was coming. We roasted marshmallows while Rudolfo ate all the good stuff like Doritos and the Jumbo sized Hershey Bar. Then wile Jasmine, Ambra, Sarah, and I were in the tent laughing super loudly and watching videos on Jasmines laptop someone called the cops on us. It was two in the morning.

The End

Eva is forever

     My name is Evelisse Monique Weeks. 

     E is for enchanting. I feel that when I meet someone that I can captivate them with my personality. 

     V is for vivacious. I always have a smile on and 99.5% of my life I am always happy. 

     E is for entity. I have faith and love in Jesus who lives eternally. 

     L is for love. Everyone deserves it no matter what they look like, what they do, or the mistakes they have made. 

     I is for ideas. There is always something going through my mind whether I'm at home, at school, or just walking around. 

    S is for sensitive. When people undermine me I put up a wall so no one can see. This can tear me up inside more than anyone can even imagine. 

    S is for self respect. I think my soul is too important to sell out short. When people try to change me it's like trying to talk a brick wall out of being a brick wall. That is what it is, I wasn't made to be anyone but who I am. 

   E is for extrovert. Yes, I am a little on the silly side of the fence and can be rambunctious at times but that is why I enjoy being me. Boring is just too ordinary.

     My name is not ordinary either. Evelisse has only been recorded fifty times in America since 1880. The year with the largest record of Evelisses' is 1986 with only nine Evelisses'. My name first originated in 1973 to five new born baby girls.

     Sadly my name has no meaning but I am proud to be a one out of a million girl named Evelisse.
