My Balanced GBATT Daily Life

G.B.A.T.T. stands for "Getting Better All The Time", and it's all about discipline, constant improvement and being the best we can be. Starting the day with calm and focus, balancing endurance with flexibility, keeping workouts fun and energetic, engaging in diverse activities and discussions, refreshing swims at the beach, learning and expressing through music, art & painting, enhancing social skills, developing cognitive skills, connecting with nature, and staying active.

My day typically starts with stretching and meditation, setting a calm, peaceful, and balanced tone. I then engage in a mix of jogging and yoga, balancing cardiovascular endurance with flexibility and strength. To keep things lively, I include Zumba sessions, adding a fun and energetic element to my workouts. I also ensure I get in some cardio exercises, maintaining my overall health and fitness.

Art & Painting

Art and painting have long been a profound medium for expressing human emotions, capturing the essence of life, and reflecting cultural narratives. From the delicate strokes of the bold abstractions of modern artists, painting has evolved through various styles and movements, each contributing to the rich tapestry of art history. This traditional form of expression continues to inspire and connect people, allowing artists to convey their innermost thoughts and viewers to interpret and find meaning. The timeless appeal of painting transforms in its ability to transcend language and cultural barriers, offering a universal language that speaks to the soul.

Bible Study

My experience at Bible study has been uplifting and fulfilling, filled with prayer, worship, and growing closer to the Lord. I went to Bible study every other Wednesday at a boba shop named Tempest Tea. I also enjoyed dressing up in elegant costumes and attending one of our Bible study parties and events, which brought everyone together in God's grace, faith, and fellowship. It was truly meaningful when I spent time with my friends and peers at Bible study. We dove into Scripture together, asked thoughtful questions, and shared personal insights that help us grow in faith and understanding. There’s always a sense of warmth, respect, and encouragement related to Bible study. Whether we’re praying, reflecting, or just enjoying each other’s company, these moments strengthen both our spiritual walk and our friendships.

Volunteer Job

As a summer camp volunteer, I supported daily activities by helping campers with special needs, leading myself to be an arts and crafts and dance instructor, and assisting while making music, doing special activities, and attending field trips such as a boat ride trip. I interacted with one of my volunteers and campers while I was there. In addition, I wore my volunteer work uniform at my first official job. I also contributed to maintaining a clean and organized environment by cleaning up common areas and stacking the chairs after fun events.

Birthday Parties & Celebrations

My birthday celebrations about when I dress elegant have always been a blend of glamourous and fun memories. It all started with my beautiful quinceañera, where I felt like a princess in my sparkling gown, surrounded by my family and friends. Then came my Sweet 16, a dazzling party full of laughter, dancing, and lots of cake. During my 17th birthday, my Bonita birthday bash was a vibrant celebration of style including pool parties and karaoke. In addition, I was a dancing queen as soon as I turned 17 at my birthday bash in Bonita. During my 18th birthday, I went all out with a laid-back but super fun bowling bash that was filled with friendly competition and laughter. In addition, I became legal as soon as I turned 18. Each year brought something new, but they all shared one thing in common: an amazing time with the people I love!

Prom

Prom was an unforgettable night filled with fun, glamour, and beautiful decorations and vibes. From the glamourous dress to the lively dance floor, everything about the evening radiated excitement and elegance. It was the perfect celebration of all the wonderful memories leading up to it. At prom, I dressed in a way that made me feel truly elegant and beautiful. Every detail of my look from the stunning dress to the carefully chosen accessories came together perfectly. I felt delighted and radiant when I had fun and went with the groove at prom. It was a night to remember, not just for the celebration, but for how empowered and unforgettable I felt in that moment.

Homecoming Dances

One of my most cherished memories comes from a homecoming dance I attended. The night was filled with laughter, music, and unforgettable moments with friends that had a City of Stars by La La Land theme. From getting ready and taking photos to dancing under twinkling lights, everything felt glamourous and stunning. Also, I became a dancing queen at the homecoming dance by dressing and dancing beautifully. It was one of those nights where time seemed to slow down, and all that mattered was the joy of the moment. That homecoming holds a special place in my heart, reminding me of the simple happiness that comes from being surrounded by people you care about and just enjoying life.
