The journey to achieve our goals is sometimes long, but makes for great stories once we get where we want to go.<br />I've also watched Dance Moms and Toddlers and Tierra's. Horrible example of parents trying to have their children live out the dreams they missed. I just want to scream at the TV and tell them to let those kids be kids, and will someone please praise them for their achievements and quit belittling them for their mistakes.<br />Ok, I'm done. :}<br />Great post and thanks for sharing<br />LyndLKFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10715696931700875944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-2932579499552833012012-06-06T15:39:53.958-04:002012-06-06T15:39:53.958-04:00Thanks, Paris - now you're bringing tears to m...Thanks, Paris - now you're bringing tears to my eyes. :) You've been so supportive and I truly appreciate it!Tina Donahuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07160021732404091277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-1945248360122578902012-06-06T15:26:11.718-04:002012-06-06T15:26:11.718-04:00Tina, I followed your story also and I have to tel...Tina, I followed your story also and I have to tell you that I was close to tears a couple of times. Thanks so much for sharing with us and giving inspiration for those who are waiting for light at the end of the tunnel.

Their moms are typical showbiz types and the teacher - Abby - is a nightmare.<br /><br />Poor Chloe. She's very talented but always takes second place to Maddy who's a year younger (nine to her ten). Even though Chloe won the scholarship last night, Abby (the teacher) didn't once congratulate her because Maddy (her favorite student) forgot her dance routine and ran off the stage in tears. When Chloe had forgotten her dance routine a few weeks back all Abby could do was criticize her. No tears. <br /><br />I think the show is very abusive to these kids. I shudder to think what poor Chloe's self-esteem is going to be like when she grows up.Tina Donahuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07160021732404091277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-92190701382339805232012-06-06T11:26:33.952-04:002012-06-06T11:26:33.952-04:00Tina, I haven't watched the Dance Moms maratho...Tina, I haven't watched the Dance Moms marathon.

Writers are a strong bunch. :)<br /><br />I appreciate your wonderful comments, Sandy. Rejection is such a bummer. Just last night I watched the Dance Moms marathon. Don't know if you're familiar with it, but poor Chloe always comes in second place. Last night she was first and won a scholarship to the Jeoffrey ballet in NY.
