In this book Val thinks that from what he said could jeporadies his job. In the book Val says "I had to get invited back for the next season." I think he's thinking that one sentence messed up his job. But in my mind don't nececarly think he did anything wrong, because he's from Russia so he comes from a mean background It's kinda like me, because when I play softball I get yelled at when I make a mistake in a game.

Today was the final part in I'll never change my Name. Val reflects on everythig in the book. He talks about his lastest dancing partners at the time he wrote his book,(Normoni and Ginger). Val says that family is the most important thing, and making someone into family. Most dance partners he's had he's built that relationship with them, to where they become family.

Today Val talks about him being partnered up with Laurie Hernandez and Normoni from fifth harmony. Something that Val says in the book that I thought was amazing is that, he said now I can give gifts to give to my mom. I can finally support my own family. This was an important part, because Val feels proud of himslef because he has a complished something that he was proud of doing in a way he wanted to give back.

Today in i'll never change my name, Val talked about how he sort of got into a fight and they weren't talking to each other. They eventually made up and they did what most siblings do say I love you and they say how much they need you in life, thats the basics of what happended today in my book by showing the readers that not everyone gets along but they still find a way to makeup for what they did.

Today in I'll Never Change my Name, Val talks about his former dance relationships and how it affects his dancing career. Just like in the book Val was dating his dance partner and there was a constreverty between her parents and his. This lead to Val happening to break up with her, not only as a dating way but he had to stop being partners with her. This just shows how dating someone you dance with can take a turn.

Today in my book Val was talking about 9/11. Since they lived in New York it hit them even harder. This was because val's dad worked in the twin towers, but he wasn't working on that day. This made me think about not taking anything forgranted and to always cherish the things I'm given. I think he's going to start going more into debt about what he was doing on that exact day.

In todays reading Val talks about how he fell in love with his wife Jenna.As I was reading this I thought it was the sweetest story of who Val and Jenna fell in love. I think what he's going to talk about next is him dancing with Jenna. Also this really conects with everyone when they fall in love, because everyone falls in love in there own unique way.

Today in my book Val talks about the process of how he corographs his dance routine. I was reading this and I was like how to the pros come up with the full routine in a day. So the next thing that I think is going to happen in the book is him showing his partner there dance. In this book Val has to create a unique dance, just like as I'm writing this I have to come up with something unique too.
