ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS

Photobucket
This was Hannah's first year at the Ballet Academy at MCPA. She had done some classes when she was younger, but now she is getting a little more serious about dance. Today she participated in the Achievement Awards where she was able to perform a little bit of what she has been learning this year. This was a HUGE accomplishment for her, because her very least favorite thing in the world is to perform in the spotlight..... alone. We shed a few tears leading up to the show, but she conquered her fears and went out there and did her very best. We are SOO proud of our little brave ballerina.

Miss Hannah, you are one BEAUUUUUTIFUL ballerina. Aunt Jennie understands those tears. It is no fun being in the spotlight with everyone's eyes on you but it always feels way worse before than it actually turns out to be in the end. The sense of accomplishment is always worth what you go through before. Aunt Jennie is so proud of you.
