Heart pounding out of your chest…you are so nervous. But wait, you are not the one standing in front of a huge room of people being asked to spell words into the microphone. No, it’s your 7 year old daughter who is confidently standing before the judges. So, why on earth are YOU so nervous?
That’s what I kept asking myself, and yet, my heart kept pounding, round after round, word after word, until after the fateful word was asked of my second grader.
“Argosy”
Looking around the room, feeling as if I was right in the middle of a hilarious episode of “Friends” or “Seinfeld,” no one else seemed to know what “argosy” was or how to spell it either!
Well, what a life lesson for a little girl and for all of us. We cannot control the cards we are dealt in life, it is often “the luck of the draw,” so you just need to do your best, “sound it out” and go for it!
Great job baby girl. Mama is so proud of you. <3
