Spring Break Rejuvenation

I am fortunate to have an annual week long Spring Break at my school. My family and I normally plan a trip to a warm weather destination, but this year we decided to visit my sister who moved to New York City last summer. Spring Break is a great time to break away from the every day norms and get to do something different. I was able to visit Top of the Rock at Rockefeller Center, go on stage at Radio City Music Hall, enjoy delicious french macaroons at Laduree, and visit Central Park on a beautiful sunny day! Shopping, relaxing and pageant prep were all on my agenda and to end my Spring Break week I visited The Ohio State University which I hope to attend in 2017!  The dance team was having a prep clinic for future dancers, so this is a great opportunity for me to make contacts, get questions answered and find out what life as a dancer in college would be like.  I hated missing my pageant team's Branson Showcase, but am so proud to be sister queens with all of the girls who earned $3,500 for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals!
