It has been an exciting week in our house. Autumn had participated in the school talent competition and was chosen to represent their school at the CSAA Talent Review. This is a talent competition that involves nine area schools. There are two winners chosen from each school that participates in the Talent Review. From these eighteen students, eight are chosen to travel from school to school and perform their winning act. The Review was last Friday and Autumn was chosen to represent her school, so she spent her week traveling around Central Michigan singing her heart out. I even got to go watch her perform at her own school on Thursday. Hearing her friends and classmates cheer for her brought tears to my eyes, and was a moment that she will always remember.
Part two of the excitement began when Summer was chosen to represent her cosmetology school in a state competition in Lansing. She was chosen to fill in for another student that wasn't able to participate, and both she and her teacher intended on this being a learning experience for her. She is only a first year student; the competitions are normally won by second year students. She went to the competition and when the time came to announce the winners, she just sat back and didn't really pay much attention; after all, she knew she wasn't going to win anything. A few minutes later, she heard her classification called, and then the name of her school. She said she thought to herself, "Who else is here from our school?" She didn't even hear them announce her name. Her fellow students started screaming "It's you, it's you! Get up there!" So, my girl that went just for the experience, ended up getting a silver medal. Life is full of surprises, isn't it????
