Things I Enjoy Doing
by Averie Perdue
Dance
I do competition dance at Kerri's Dance Studio, and I have danced there since I was 3 years old and have been on the competition team since I was 6 years old. I have practice Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday for 30 min- 3 hour long practices. We also have competitions every other weekend after December and each competition goes from Friday-Sunday for over 12 hours each day. We have nationals coming up next month in Minneapolis and recital. Nationals lasts over a whole week and recital lasts 3 days with over 5 different shows! We are going to be there for 8 days and some other studios and dances have to be there earlier. Dance is a big commitment, but it's totally worth it!!
I-80 Speedway and Racing
This is a picture of my dad's old race car before he wrecked it last season. My dad and his brother have been racing since they were little. My dad let my brother race go-karts forever. He started racing when he was 8 and trained with 30 year old guys because he was so good, he was supposed to be training with his age group. My dad's race car garage is FILLED with trophies from Trevor winning, and one time my brother beat the entire season and won money. My family and I love NASCAR and racing is all in my family and I am proud of everyone who does in my family, and hopefully sometime soon my dad will let me race, too! ;)
Travelling
I LOVE travelling! I've been to California 3 times and I want to live their when I get older, Georgia once, Florida over 5 times, Mexico over 5 times, Cayman once, Hawaii once, and have driven to a lot of places! I can't even remember all!! Someday I want to travel to Venice, Italy and go all over Europe! I will go anywhere as long as it has a beach!
