Highschool Talent Show









Karissa was so excited to try out for the talent show! With much thought she chose her song. It was between "Love story", "what If" and " My heart will go on". She went with Celine Dion. She tried out two weeks ago and waited anxiously for the posting to see if she made it. Low and behold....she came home after school shouting "I'm on the list!!!!" She knew from that moment that she would be wearing her red formal and singing My heart will go on. The night of her performance there were no signs of being nervous just full confidence. Darcy and I worked together getting make-up hair and other details just right. She performed #7 out of 17 other talents. Spotlight was on her and the crowd had their phones lit and waving.It was a very tender moment. She recieved the only standing ovation that I will never forget. The entire audience was cheering her on! She could not beleive it and was in awe.
There are no words to explain how proud I was. In that moment she was a True Star and I knew in my heart that the Madison Highschool kids love Karissa for who she is. She did an amazing job and won 3rd place and $50. History was made on that night. Oh how we love our star!!
