2016 has been a journey. I've accomplished so much last year, but even still, I'm continuing to grow and learn. up until this moment in my life, I had never aspired to reach my goals so much as now. That being Photography and Break dancing. This video showcases the progress I have seen throughout my passions in 2016. This is dedicated to those who struggle in life not only in the realms of school and family, but also in finding individuality and freedom. No matter the hardship, just keep looking forward; don't dwell on the negatives of the past.

Photography has become a great part of me. It has given me so many new ways to view the world in my own perspective. Before, I started doing photography, I was a very introverted person. It's helped me go out and interact with others more. Going around to different places to capture unique things with my close friends and family. It's made the people that I capture feel special and become more confident with themselves. Seeing others enjoying my content makes me enjoy what I love doing.

Throughout my time as a break dancer, I've slowly progressed. When it comes down to the real world of breaking, it can change you. Being able to start off breaking with mentors is more than a blessing to me. Breaking has become more than a hobby, and I never felt more alive. Break dancing has a lot to offer. It helps release your emotions, gives a community to meet new people and the opportunity to travel.

My goal is to inspire people to live life to the fullest. I myself have struggled with school, work, even with my emotions but I've managed to pull through. 2016, you weren't my favorite year, but you were the year that gave me a lot of lessons. I like to thank those who have pushed me to be where I am today and accomplish so much. 

2017, be ready.
