My Sister-the Star!!

My sister Melissa is going to be, and already is, a star! I'm so proud of her!

I'm going to explain, don't worry.

Melissa sang about 3 songs in the Kiwanis Festival this year, and her marks were amazing. So amazing, in fact, that the head people of the Festival called her up and asked her if she would like to sing at the Stars of the Festival. This is an evening where only the best of the best perform, and there are only about 20 participants(that's not very many, considering there are so many divisions in the Festival, including piano, violin, vocal, concert bands, and more) This is also the evening where they hand out trophies and monetary awards to other performances who were also excellent.

Now, I'm not saying that everyone else who was in the festival isn't good enough to perform for this evening, however, you have to admit it is such an honour to be asked to be in this special performance at the end of the festival.

And out of all the many people who performed, Melissa was one of the people they asked to perform!!! I'm so excited, and so proud of her! This will be her first time on stage by herself in front of an audience, and although she is nervous, it is a wonderful opportunity. If any of you see her in the next week(the performance is next Monday) just encourage her and/or congratulate her, because this is a very big deal in her life!

Melissa, good luck, I know you are going to be amazing, and I look forward to hearing you sing finally!!! Love you!

Love, Ash
