My summer was fun, but boring. Usually I go to Brazil over the summer, because that is where the rest of my family lives (my aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins), but this year because of various reasons we did not go. Instead...we stayed here in Austin for most of the summer. I went to a ballet Summer Intensive (its kind of like a camp, but all you do is dance from 9-5 every day) for 3 weeks. Then, I went to Cancun in Mexico for a week. Then finally I went to Belles camp. (Belles is our high schools Dance/Drill Team. We dance at pep rallys and competions, and we do high kick routines at half time of Anderson's Varsity Football games). This year the Belles are working as an addition to the Color Guard, so I also attended Band camp for a week. We (the Belles and the Color Guard) are carrying 7 foot tall "moon staffs'', twirling colorful flags, and dancing/twirling rifles while the marching band plays and marches! It looks VERY cool! Our first competition with the band is Saturday!

HI I AM BACK!!!
Hi everyone!!!
My name is Virginia Alves and I am in 10th grade at Anderson!
I had Ms. Hollrah last year for world geography and had a blast making this blog! So this year I asked to join again...I am 15 and I was born in Brazil, and talking to people around the world from different cultures is something I enjoy very much! I love learning about new cultures and sharing my own culture!
As people know the USA is known as the "melting pot" of cultures, and I am an example! I since I was born in Brazil my culture is a different than other people you may know. I speak Portuguese at home, which means I already am bilingual, and I eat different foods that most Americans. Also the way I greet my family is mostly different.
Thanks for reading my blog!
Virginia Alves
