The Final Stretch — Lindsay Anderson

As I put yet another spray of hairspray in my pixie styled dark brown hair and finished getting dressed for my solo, something dawned on me. I was about to enter my final dance competition ever. Whether I liked it or not, I was in the final stretch of my dance career, as well as my senior year of high school. Even though I had had a good run and enjoyed high school greatly, I was looking forward to high school being over. I was ready to start the next chapter of my life. The start of the next chapter would include me graduating high school in three weeks, as well as starting my four year term at Texas Tech University with my boyfriend, Eli, and his twin sister and one of my best friends, Emily. However, before I could get excited about any of that, I had to focus on the competition that lie ahead. After all, I was determined to take my teammates and myself to the top.
