Honors Orchestra

Okay, I might post a lot of stuff on here bragging about how smart and talented I am if you don't mind :) Anyway; So, On Thursday of last week, I auditioned for something called Honors Orchestra, which is a very, VERY good and advanced orchestra for 5th graders. I hadn't practiced at ALL the week before and knew that I just wouldn't make it - because obviously the piece of music I had to play was advanced - so, when Ms.Paule (the orchestra director) called me to audition, I started panicking and doubting myself. While I was playing the piece, I, of course thought that I was playing very badly. But, when I finished, I miraculously made it into Honors! I can't explain to you how shocked I was that I made it in. To make the moment even more shocking, Ms.Paule said that I had played amazingly! So, there is some sort of a moral in this amazing story, too. #1. Uh, always practice anything that may be unexpected. And, #2. Never doubt yourself, especially when you're really good at something.
