And That’s….the Truth

Yesterday after school I took my daughter around the neighborhood to get some pledges for her upcoming fiddle-a-thon that will take place this Saturday.  We only ended up going to three houses as most of the people we know weren’t home.  And, the other people in the neighborhood don’t know Kara so I didn’t want to ask them to pledge her.  But she did good.  The three houses that we did go to, gave her pledges.  Between this and family members, she did quite well for her first time asking for pledges.  Now on Saturday she needs to play for 200 minutes to earn these pledges.  But she is having fun with the entire experience and that’s the main thing.

As many of you know, my 9 year old daughter has been taking violin lessons through her school.  She was off to a rough start at first as she got quite sick before Christmas and lost a lot of violin practice time.  But, she is one determined kid and has worked very hard a getting caught up with her classmates.  Yesterday I received a message from her violin teacher that her class has been entered into a violin competition.

My daughter is so excited about this.  She now has the confidence built up and I know that she will do her very best.  So at the beginning of April she will be headed off to her very first competition.  I know all the children will do an awesome job and I am just so proud of her.  I can’t wait until April so I can see her perform.

When my daughter got off the school bus yesterday, she was so proud. In her hand’s, she had her own violin. Actually it’s the schools, but for the year, this will be the violin that she plays on and learns on. Last night she was in her room and she was practicing. She informed me that she was really happy that she got into the program and very happy that she didn’t quit when she was thinking about it. So now that the violin is home and in her room, I think she will practice like she is suppose to and I honestly can’t wait to hear her progress over the next few months.
