Hello Every1, Yes it's the long awaited moment and so much to cover.

These past few months have been very busy and productive and only the fun will begin in just a few days when I am off on another two week vacation. I will be away in Europe and the Mediterranean. I will miss every single one of you.

First off let's begin with the UCDC dance recitals a few weeks ago. I am speechless. Every single group at rehearsals and both dance nights did a splendid job. I couldn't have asked for more. About 3,000 showed up for both nights and boy I was way nervous but had tons of fun. I am so proud of our hip hop class. I am, also, very proud of the great performance put on by my sister's jazz class as well. Both were top notch and "two thumbs way up" performances. The Seniors and Elites blew my breath away as usual. Even the preschoolers were a delight. I would like to thank all that came out. This includes Grandfather, Parents, Siblings, Gordon, Rhame, Julia, Nikki, Katy, and so many more. Thanks for all your continued support! :)

The YG field trip to see the Greenville Drive a few days before the recital was a grand success as well. Thank you to all Saint Mary's YG members that showed up for tailgating and the game! We had fun: (trying to get fly balls, tshirts, towels, get on TV) Whatever it was when all had a good time watching the Greenville Drive come up from behind and defeat the Greensboro Grasshoppers.

As most of you may know this was my first end of the year awards show at Mann. I know this has been too long. And now I've made it to the top. :) The one thing I won't forget was getting two awards. Not too bad. The first one was an Academic Letter. The other one was the USC Upstate Scholars Award. Woo Hoo!!!
