These are the things you want to protect your children from having to go through in life even though you know that they must in order to grow. Don't blame yourself please -- both you and Rigel do a wonderful job and the evidence is right there to see in your to wonderful children!<BR/><BR/>I am a huge believer that things happen for a reason and now maybe she will have the opportunity for something better that might not have been possible if she had been accpeted to the academy. How proud I am that she called her friend to congratulate her -- that is because she has two great parents setting a wonderful example for her.NorCal Sistahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9841971.post-40263245346222309292009-04-06T08:44:00.000-07:002009-04-06T08:44:00.000-07:00I wrote a post a year ago about my rejection when ...I wrote a post a year ago about my rejection when I was 8 and didn't make the national tour of Annie. It was completely heartbreaking, but having my dad there to console me is the memory that has stuck with me after all these years. She'll be okay.<BR/>I'm an alumni of Los Angeles County High School for the Arts. It's free, and awesome. You might want to check into it in a few years.

I can only imagine how much she wanted that acceptance.<BR/><BR/>But as the other commenters have said (and though it might be hard for her to see right now) -- she will be OK. There is not just one road to her dream. Rather than being a little fish in a big pond, she can be a big fish in a little pond. She can strive to be the star of her school's drama events rather than just one of the other actors at the performing arts school. She can continue to practice and work hard and hone in on her best skills so that she will be really ready for the next opportunity that presents itself.<BR/><BR/>Good luck to her. I know she has other great things coming her way in the future!Nancyhttp://mommaamme.typepad.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9841971.post-60487897447471681902009-04-05T17:48:00.000-07:002009-04-05T17:48:00.000-07:00Annie - Yeah, who needs 'em?

I wish I knew who you were so I could send you a fruit basket. <BR/><BR/><B>Jaelith</B> - I love your story, and I'm going to pass it on to Kiyomi. I've been trying to tell her that there are other avenues to follow her dream. She's starting to come around. Lunch at McDonalds and a new pack of Pokemon cards helped, too.sweatpantsmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02501471972355692992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9841971.post-79329887027433825202009-04-05T14:30:00.000-07:002009-04-05T14:30:00.000-07:00Oh, this would break my heart, too.

Or could she keep taking acting classes outside of school? If she really does love it, she shouldn't give up. <BR/><BR/>When I joined the track team in the 9th grade, I was the worst runner at tryouts. I didn't make the varsity team the junior varist team, or even really the C-squad. I wound up carrying water for people at meets.<BR/><BR/>But my parents drove me to a track all summer, and I ran two miles and practiced sprints every day, hoping that if I practiced hard enough, I'd at least make an alternate on the junior varsity cross country team in the fall. <BR/><BR/>After three months of practice, in tryouts that August, I got the fifth spot on the varsity team. I was fifth fastest out of thirty girls.<BR/><BR/>Of course, now I'm a slow old lady. But still have my ribbons from the races I won.Jaelithehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12081888212421953409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9841971.post-61686815858619823462009-04-05T13:49:00.000-07:002009-04-05T13:49:00.000-07:00You two are the BEST parents!!!! ... i think the b...You two are the BEST parents!!!! ... i think the beauty and joy, intelligence and effortless displays of true talent (not to mention "bat shit" crazy humor) that i have witnessed in your family speak volumes about the LOVE you have wrapped your children in.<BR/><BR/>Your daughters are both going to be GREAT successes in life, uniquely talented, balanced, loving and gracious. <BR/><BR/>And you're so right... that they will NEVER need "a letter" to tell them these most important things are true.<BR/><BR/>YOU ROCK MOM and DAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9841971.post-53708947774777491662009-04-05T13:48:00.000-07:002009-04-05T13:48:00.000-07:00Aw, poor Kiyomi.
