Come for a day in my life with me during summer vacation!!

First thing in the morning, I wake up between 7:00 – 8:00 AM. Then I dress up in clothes I think are perfect for the temperature. Then I go to eat my breakfast, which is usually just a hard boiled egg and milk with some oatmeal. After finishing my healthy breakfast, I brush my teeth and wash my face. Now, it’s time to start working.

The first thing I do is organize my desk and working space a little so that it’ll be easier to learn. Then I do all the homework mom asks me to do, which includes math, Chinese reading comprehension, phonics, and Letterly homework. After a lot and a lot of homework writing, it’s now time to take a break. I usually get out of my room and go play with my kitten, Starlight. I would hug her like a baby and rock her to sleep; somehow, it’s really relaxing and satisfying to watch her sleep. Now I’m done taking my break, it’s time for piano practice, which only lasts for about 30 minutes. I practice different piano exercises, and sometimes, when I have time left, I make my own pieces to play.

After playing the piano, I practice ballet. First, I stretch, so I do the splits, hip flexibility, foot and knee flexibility, and back flexibility. Then, I will exercise my back and my abs. Then I do all the bar routines the teacher taught us in class. Afterwards, I practice my turns and balance and, maybe, work on my dance a little bit.

When I’m finished with dance practice, I have a little bit of time to myself. Usually, I like to work on my crafts. I even have a whole collection of squishy books I made by myself.

After that, I eat dinner, and the day is over. That is what my life looks like. Bye!!
