So Proud!

I almost cried last night!

Oh no, they were tears of joy and excitement!

Remember how I was waiting for my student?! Well, she arrived a bit early, apologizing for being early! HA! In this world of late people, what a blessing!

She calmly set her books down, but I could tell she was in good spiritis.

"Can I tell you something" she asks.
"Of Course."
"Well, you see, I auditioned for a solo at school. I just decided last minute. Then I got a call for call backs. Then I found out today I get to do the solo in our Concert," she says.

I just stared. But I could not have been more proud! Tears filled my eyes.

She told me all about her audition. Told me she had told her teacher she was taking lessons and her teacher had seen improvement. And now she is seeing results of her hard work! I was so proud of her and happy for her. She could barely contain her excitement. Just the joy in her eyes was worth every step of the journey for the last few months. This is where I cannot help but love what I do---helping others make their own dreams come true!
