Me! But that might just depress her more because I am sure I think I am cooler than she thinks I am!

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.Jolynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02737781521006831056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6220205377327137114.post-33579623478347487682009-05-04T18:07:00.000-07:002009-05-04T18:07:00.000-07:00Don't worry Makenna!

I'm sorry any kid has to go through it. <br /><br />Just 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!<br /><br />Anyway, hang in there, guys. We all love Makenna no matter what.holli johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06856478733589225299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6220205377327137114.post-60959905631000897662009-05-01T08:48:00.000-07:002009-05-01T08:48:00.000-07:00Makenna has been really having a hard time.

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.Christina Overtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06027611076065625410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6220205377327137114.post-35243451833892464932009-05-01T08:13:00.000-07:002009-05-01T08:13:00.000-07:00I'm so sorry, Mckenna.
