Dancing through Life!

Funny coincidence about this particular post. It's my 220th! Funny since my birthdate is 2/20. Very strange happening.

Okay, so, for my birthday list. Apparently I always post it 3 days before my birthday, so I'm just following tradition. So here it is--28 accomplishments in (almost) 28 years:

1) Learning to read (age 4 or 5)

4) Performing in my first ballet--Cinderella--Garland Girl (age 8)
5) Performing in my first musical--You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown--Patty (age 13)
6) First award that meant something real to me--A Humanitarian Award from 8th grade graduation (age 14)
7) First read a chapter book (age 6 or 7)
8) Learned to swim (age 6)
