She told Her She Wasn’t Good Enough – A Story About Determination and Success!

My youngest daughter has been taking private clarinet lessons. She plays in the school band and wants to improve her skills.

There are many clarinet players in her band, many of which have been playing longer. And quite a few of them play considerably better than she does.

Last week, her teacher (the one who teaches her private lessons) told her that she would be lucky to get a grade of maybe 74, at the All County tryouts.

She told her not to even bother shooting for a high score.

My older daughter told me about this the other day. Needless to say, I wasn’t happy.

What are we paying her for then?!

Despite all this, she practiced diligently and even asked for an extra private lesson before the tryouts.

Her determination amazes me sometimes.

I can honestly say this for both my daughters.

Well, my friends, today was the day of the All County tryouts. Their dad took them both to the tryouts and on their way home, my youngest called me to tell me her score.

Can you guess what her score was?

She got a 95!

This was her first All County tryout. Ever. She was really nervous. And her own teacher told her she pretty much s*cked.

And she KILLED it!

I don’t think anything in life is ever easy. In my book “Zipping It Up: How to lose 5 pounds fast -and look great in that little black dress” I give you a step by step, simple (not easy) way to quickly lose weight.
