To my dearest Daloy Dance Troupe,
Writing this feels so heavy yet so beautiful at the same time. I never thought saying goodbye to something that became my second home would be this hard.
I started as a simple dancer in 2023, just a Grade 9 girl with a dream and a love for dancing. I didnโt know then that Daloy would become such a big part of my life. From being one of the members to becoming your president for two years, this journey has changed me in ways I will forever be grateful for.
Daloy became my comfort, my strength, and my happiness. It was where I found myself, where I learned to be confident, where I grewโnot just as a dancer, but as a person. Every practice, every performance, every tiring yet fulfilling moment with all of you will always have a special place in my heart.
To our dearest Mom Violy Nelmida Buling, thank you for being our guiding light. Your patience, understanding, and love for us made Daloy feel like a family. You believed in me even when I doubted myself, and I will always carry that with me.
To my Dad, Sir James Rieza II, thank you for shaping us into the dancers we are today. Your passion, discipline, and dedication pushed me to go beyond my limits. You made me realize that dancing is not just about movementโitโs about heart, expression, and courage.
Daloy inspired me to do better in everything, especially in my studies. I am proud to say that throughout my journey, I carried not just the name of a dancer, but a student who strived to grow:
Grade 9 โ With Honors
Grade 10 โ With Honors & Outstanding Performance in Arts
Grade 11 โ 1st & 2nd Semester With Honors
Grade 12 โ 1st & 2nd Semester With Honors & Outstanding Performance in Arts (Dancing)
But more than these achievements, what I treasure the most is all of you.
To my fellow dancersโmy sisters, my family and sa mga nakanaka ko dyanโthank you for making my junior high and senior high school life so full of joy and love. Thank you for the laughter, the inside jokes, the late practices, the support, and even the tears we shared. You were there during my best days and even my hardest ones.
Leading you all for two years was not always easy, but it was always worth itโbecause I had you. You inspired me every single day. You made me stronger, braver, and more passionate.
As I close this chapter of my senior high school life and step into a new journey in college, I carry each one of you in my heart. I may no longer stand beside you in every practice or performance, but a part of me will always dance with you.
Daloy will always be my home.๐ซถ๐ป
This is not goodbye, because I know our paths will cross again someday. Until then, keep dancing, keep shining, and never forget how amazing you all are.๐๐
Hindi talaga ako masungit, promise๐คจ
Hindi man naging champion sa kahit anong laban, atleast magkakasamang lumaban.๐
I love you all so much.๐
Forever your Ate, mama mama ng lahat, and President,
Trisha๐ซถ๐ซฐ๐ป
Daloy Dance Troupe President
