Makenna didn't make dance. My heart is just breaking for her. Her goal was to make cheerleading, dance, or the gymnastics preteam this year. None of them have worked out. My poor little girl is feeling very sad and very discouraged tonight. And so am I.
I feel so bad for her! She is very talented! Tell her to just keep trying!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry, Mckenna. You are a super cute girl and have so much talent. Keep your head up! And like Jenni said, Keep trying!
ReplyDeleteMakenna has been really having a hard time. She spent most of the morning crying uncontrollably. When I suggested that she take private dance/cheer lessons she said, "There is no reason to because I am not any good." The saddest part is that I think she has a lot of potential to be a really good dancer. Mostly I am just worried about her self-esteem. This is a girl who didn't have much self-confidence in the first place.
ReplyDeleteChristina, my heart hurts for both of you! I can't imagine how she must feel and how you must feel. :( I'm so sorry she didn't make the team. Junior high was a crappy time, as I recall. I'm sorry any kid has to go through it.
ReplyDeleteJust keep encouraging her. She's a beautiful, talented girl, and sooner or later things will work out for her. Private dance lessons are a great idea!
Anyway, hang in there, guys. We all love Makenna no matter what.
It is so hard to see that she is hurting like this. We love you Makenna!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry Makenna! I didn't make the Dance Team either. We'll get through it together! Right?
ReplyDeleteI remember not making cheerleader, and it was devastating at the time. I'm sorry that anyone has to go through that. Makenna, you'll find your "niche" if you just keep trying. I say try out again next year after doing all you can to improve and get better. If it's something you really want, go after it with all you have. I gave up and never tried again, and I don't think that is the way to go. We all feel your pain because we have been through some ourelves. You are so cute and talented! Never forget that.
ReplyDeleteI'm shocked she didn't make it! That really stinks. She seems like she would be great at it, so I just echo everyone else and say, Keep Trying!
ReplyDeleteI would say tell her plenty of cool people didn't make cheerleader in junior high, aka. Me! But that might just depress her more because I am sure I think I am cooler than she thinks I am! Junior HIgh was the worst!
