<p>Our turn…</p>
<p>Just had this same convo with my junior D this evening… “Mom, what if I’m not good enough? If I can’t even get into a good audition school, I might as well not even do theatre because I won’t make it in auditions after I graduate.”</p>
<p>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH</p>
<p>That was in reply to my telling her that we need to develop a well rounded list of schools, including several non-audition programs. She doesn’t even want to consider non-audition schools!!! I’ve told her about all of your posts, including the stories in the background threat for this year’s acceptances.</p>
<p>So then she went on and on for about an hour or so talking about another degree, more solid, and just doing community theatre on the side. She thought about physical therapy, pediatrician (!!!)…then she looked at me and said, but mom, i just can’t picture me doing anything else! </p>
<p>AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH</p>
<p>Of course she did take the AP Calc Exam today, so her brain was drained when we talked. </p>
<p>I honestly don’t know how we are going to make it this next year…</p>
