Wow…..
The band director and general music teacher at our school surprised me last week.
Me: Working in class
Band Director: Walks in my classroom and says to teacher: “May I speak to Lizzie, please?”
My teacher: “Sure!”
Me: Looks at him like …
Band Director: “Don’t worry, you’re not in trouble.”
Me: Feels tension ease up in room and walks out into hallway with Band Director
Band Director: “So, since we just kind of started using this new elementary building and never had a Grand opening ceremony (Elementary is k-6 and I’m in 6th.) they’re having one where they cut a ribbon and everything. They asked me to choose one elementary student to sing the ‘Star Spangled Banner’ at the ceremony, and frankly, you’re the only one I can trust. Would you like to do it?”
Me: So freaking overjoyed I could hug him “Yeah!”
Band Director: “Awesome! Oh, and don’t worry, I’ll talk to your teacher and we’ll get you out of class next week so you can come practice.” (My Band Director is like a big kid which is why he’s so freaking awesome.)
Me: Goes back to class with huge smile on face
I’m really happy that out of all the elementary students, (About 500) He thought of me and said I was the only one he could trust. I’ve always been the girl that got good grades, but didn’t make a show out of it, but I really excelled in music. A few months ago he said I have the most natural musical ability he’s ever seen since he’s been teaching. (I’m in school band too.) I’m really happy that he chose me, and I’m really nervous. But I know with the support of my friends(The ones that know about it anyway, I didn't want to make a big deal of it, so I only told a select few,) and family, I'll do great :)
This is another great example to show my life truly is limitless. Never give up on your dreams, and never limit yourself. I don't ;)
