Hula

Blake just had his Hula performance for his school. This is his third year taking hula and this year, he finally moved up from the back row, which probably means he's doing better.....finally. If you are wondering why he's taking hula, here is the background story. At his school, from 4th grade, the students have a study hall period, but if you want, you can elect to take dance, orchestra, or choir. We decided to strongly suggest (force) Blake to take hula. The reason being: (1) We thought it would be good for him to take hula to give him some sort of cultural/artistic talent, (2) We heard that a lot of athletes take hula to improve footwork and agility, (3) In 7th grade it is mandatory to take an extra-curricular activity, so this would give him a 3 year head start, (4) And the final and probably the most plausible reason was, we figured he would just fool around during study hall, so he might as well learn something.
So anyway the performance went well and it was the first performance where he actually smiled.
