MY WISH FOR YOU

Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small

You never need to carry
more than you can hold
And while you’re out there
gettin’ where you’re gettin’ to
I hope you know that somebody loves you
And wants the same things too
Yeah, this is my wish

—Rascal Flatts

“Bow to the past,
dance in the present,
leap high into the future.”

—Anonymous

To The Dance Corner Family,

For the past nine years, the teachers, students, and families at The Dance Corner have created a second home for me
with their continuous advice, support, and love. Beyond the choreography, having a passion for dance has taught me
the important combination of confidence and modesty needed both on the stage and off. I am fortunate to have had the
opportunity to share a love for the art with my younger sister, Liv, while creating everlasting relationships with dancers
who are now my closest friends. This is a gift I know I will cherish forever!
As senior year comes to an end, I find myself wondering how time could have possibly gone by so quickly. For that,
I hope every dancer embraces their time in the studio and enjoys each element of dancing that comes their way. This
fall, I plan to continue dancing at college while studying some form of Chemistry, Biology, or Neuroscience, alongside
Spanish. While I embark on a journey into the next chapter of my life, The Dance Corner will always hold a special
place in my heart. My gratitude for the the joy, enthusiasm, inspiration, and dedication that all of you bring to the studio
is eternal. It has been a pleasure dancing with each and every one of you.

SamLove always,
