Sophia's Pesonal Statement

By pursuing my dream, I was able to transform peoples lives (through dance!).  I quickly identified that the benefits of dance (including the feel good endorphins), are something that many of us desperately need in our everyday, tech-driven lives.  Dance reconnects us and provides a naturally therapy and natural high. Dance is also the only sport aside from ping pong that wards off dementia and engages both lobes of the brain.  The benefits of dance are endless, and I celebrate the fact that I can share them with others.  I am now proud to say that my service continues after the Peace Corps—by allowing people the opportunity to reconnect with reality and with each other, especially in a tech-driven world that keeps disconnecting us.
