Vanessa has been eager to try things at the local Hilliard Arts Council. It started a couple of years ago when she had to make a tough choice between softball and an invitation to perform in a musical. Last year the Hilliard Arts Council started a youth chorus, but once again we had too many conflicts with schedules. This year we made sure to carve out time and she enjoyed every part of it!
Her first performance was informal. The second was a bit more formal. And her last felt very formal. She even sang in Jewish! One of her WEP goals for school this year has to do with building confidence speaking and performing in front of others. It can be hard for many to understand that she is actually introverted in this way -- she's one of those hard to read personalities due to the way she copes and the amount of energy her brain is trying to channel. But she's pushing herself and trying. I'm so proud of her!
