Even though Cecily enjoyed going to dance camp, she enjoyed going to Anderson Christian Camp during July so much more. Attending ACC meant that Cecily, her best friends, Christy and Cameron, went to camp in a small town forty five minutes outside of their hometown of Orlando. During their week at ACC, the three of them would learn a little bit more of His word. Going to ACC was truly Cecily's favorite part of the summer. As the Anderson United Methodist Church bus pulled into ACC, Cecily could not help but smile. She and her youth group had just arrived at one of Cecily's most favorite places in the entire world!

At my high school, it is a tradition that an all day last day of school showcase be held (Due to the fact that the regular school hours are 8-12, it is an all morning show.).

While my best friend, Pfeiffer, and I will be doing a dance with our dance team that we are the co-captains of for the 2019-2020 school year, I will also be performing a never before heardnew song that I wrote for my upcoming CD that is due to be released in October. Truth be told, I have a feeling that today is going to be an awesome day!

"I am really happy for you."Tonight is Nathan and his family's annual New Year's Eve party. It is not your typical New Year's Eve party. Everyone dresses in elegant attire, enjoys great food, etc. It is truly an event that my girlfriend, best friends, and I look forward to every year.
