Proud of our Jia

Jia had a school performance last night for prospective students. They sang, "I Can Sing A Rainbow." Historically, when she has been on stage she has had stage fright at some point and has run off crying. This time she didn't! She got up there and sang her little heart out. And smiled while she did it!

There she is in the front row on the left. (You can click to enlarge.)

When she finished, she said, "I was very scared, but I did it anyway!" I told her, "That's the definition of bravery!" We're so proud of her.

On a side note, the temperature is currently fifteen below and getting colder. I can't even imagine adding windchill to that! As a result, it was announced that school is optional today. I've never heard of this before! Jia went anyway. Glad she loves it!
