My name is Diomy Perio Gabasan Jr. I was born on February 22nd, 1996 in County Medical Hospital in Ventura. Although I was born in Ventura, Oxnard has always been my home. I've never really been around the country, but I have seen a lot of southern California. This was due to my brother being in Channel Islands All-male and his competitions were in various high school gyms in California. A couple years after he stopped dancing, at around the time I was 8 years old, he told me about this dance team that his friend was staring. Naturally, I jumped at this opportunity to dance and I loved every single moment of it. For 10 years I danced under the instruction of Byron Bucao on Undeclared for the first 6 years and on Emanon for the last 4. Being on these two teams has been the best time of my life so far. Many great memories have been made with these teams, both good and bad. I've also met wonderful people through dance, many of whom are my very close friends. Sadly, all good things come to an end and I had to end my tenure with dancing.
As of now I'm living at home going to Oxnard College. I was pretty nervous going into my first day of college since I didn't know what to expect. Although I was nervous, I'm enjoying my time so far, since I've had a lot more freedom with my schedule. More sleep for me, although homework seems to be pile up if I sleep too much. Life at home has been kind of iffy since we just moved back into our home the first week of college. When I'm not doing homework or working on cleaning up the house, I am usually playing computer games such as League or Dota 2. Occasionally I'll switch to Super Mario 3D World on the Wii U, but that game isn't fun by yourself. Other than that, I try to play basketball with my friends, or meet up with them when I can.
In a couple years, I'd want to transfer out to UCSD and major in either Biomedical Engineering. Maybe I'd want to join a dance team down there, quite possibly Cookies formerly known as Choreo Cookies or even GRV. I'd also want to get a job in conjunction with being on a dance team, and was thinking about becoming a dancer for Disney. After college, I'd want to work on creating machines to help diagnose certain conditions. As for later on, I'd rather not think that far.
