From that point on Krysta became an overachiever in everything. She was an overachiever so much that she wouldn’t think she was good enough when she wasn’t awarded. With maturity, she learned to give her all and the awards will come later. While Krysta was dancing, she was also in school at Mary McCleod Bethune Elementary in College Park.
