Congrats to Mikail for all your hard work and dedication! You did it! You were excited to try out for the Alta Las Scelles. I wasn't so sure on this because I thought it was all military drill and you are such a beautiful ballerina! After watching you practice the 2 tryout dances I was put in my place! You girls have to be GREAT dancers with backgrounds in many areas of dance. I could see the determination in your eyes that this was something you really wanted. The discouragement came when I found out they only had 10 new spots with a lot of girls trying out!
I found myself worrying as you continued to practice until 11:00 p.m. and woke up with a stomach ache! Perhaps this was too much stress! But you are awesome and put your head, heart, and soul and you made it!
The tryouts were so intense with a lot of stressed out girls and some very crazy moms! I liked the way you stayed focused and up-beat, and ever so DRIVEN!
I hope you have a really fun experience and year as a Las Scelle...ette?? I will even try hard to be positive about your 5:30 a.m. practices!
Your dad and I are your biggest fans!
