Taylor Talent Show 2015

Several weeks ago Taylor registered to perform in her school's talent show and after much practice and anticipation today was the performance. I have to admit that I was a little nervous about how she would do, but I have to say that she even surprised me with how well she did, especially given the difficulty of the piece that she picked. "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" by Taylor Swift.

Andrea and I were talking afterwards about the fact that she didn't seem all that nervous. In fact, she just seemed to be having fun with it.  This is probably to me the most admirable part. I would have been very nervous. As Andrea and I talked about her performance we realized that what Taylor is doing right now is exploring and having fun with every possible experience she can find. And not letting herself be overly concerned with any one thing, just enjoying her time. And while having fun, whether purposefully or not, is creating opportunities for growth and facing her fears.

I am very proud of these efforts that she is making and looking forward to many more performances.

Here is a video of the performance.
