Mackenzie's audition

[judy]

Jessie found out that there was an audition for the Kortright Arts Group, and took Mackenzie. When she finished, people were applauding like crazy, and telling her how wonderfully she sings. Jessie was so proud. She told me that Mackenzie opened up on stage, and was really good!

She was chosen as an opening act for a Blues/Jazz group for this Sat. night! We are so excited! It's like all of a sudden, she has blossomed. She has always been a great singer, but now she is being chosen for all kinds of things!

I am so happy for her! At almost 13, I think this is what a girl needs. They are building up their self esteem, and beginning to learn who they are, and if they are good at something, it is a blessing!

I love that this is really pushed up here too. Sports are very important, and many girls are known for their athletic abilities. Music is also known by the kids up here. They still have it in school. That's where Mackenzie fits in.
