One movie that really inspired and challenged me to think differently was the documentary "Mad Hot Ballroom". It is about students in New York City's most poverty-stricken elementary schools who learn and compete ballroom dancing for gym class. I first watched this movie when I was in 8th grade. It was one of the first movies that really made me think about others and how much of an impact the arts can make. Dance and music has had a strong impact on my life. It has been a way to express myself and lead a healthy life. Therefore, after seeing this film, I realized how much it can be used to help others lead a healthy and better life. I also enjoyed that this film showed such a diverse group of students. It allowed me to gain a greater appreciation for their culture and eliminate stereotypes.
