My daughter just finished her grade 5 Royal Academy ballet exam, which is probably the most stressful thing in her life ...
For three years she has been working hard to regain a mark over 75 in order to get a distinction. Most of her class is at this level, and for most of the year she holds her own in the class - until exam day. Then she comes unstuck. This year she is hopeful, we talked a little, I joked that I would give her a fun size chocolate bar for every mark under (the little bite size ones), we went skiing and kept busy... and since none of that made much difference we asked the ladies on our home-school support email group to pray.
She had a good exam. At least she remembers more of this exam than other years, and could tell me what she was working on and thinking about, and where she knows she went wrong.
So maybe this year, and if not we're proud of her pre-exam standard anyway.
This is from one of her art lessons last year...it seemed fitting
