My daughter is a middle school student and they are having their spring concert tonight.
She plays the clarinet.
I’m proud of her for participating. Even though she’s really good too, the important thing is participation.
You start to see in the middle school grades the kids who are fading into the background. THey don’t participate in any extra curricular stuff…music, sports, clubs, etc.
I think they’re missing out. I was like that and I know I missed out on a lot of fun and memories that will last forever.
Being a spectator in life is not as good as being a participator.
