Well, that's another one of our girls all settled in and ready to begin her next chapter at university. 💜
I have written many posts over the years wishing our students luck as they head off to follow their dreams, but this one is a little harder than most. This time, I'm not only writing as a teacher, but as a mam too.
Amara, from the day you were born, you have been part of RCSoD. You grew up in the studio, taking your first steps between dance classes, watching rehearsals, and falling in love with the world that has shaped so much of your life. To see you now all settled and ready to begin your training at Wilkes Academy fills me with so much pride.
You have achieved so much over the years bringing home countless titles, becoming a CYD Star, being part of KBC Cheography, EVO Ambassador, Channy Ambassador and representing our school with grace, dedication and determination. Yet through every success you have remained the same humble, kind and caring girl that everyone loves.
Watching you grow into a teacher has been one of my greatest joys. Teaching is most definitely in your blood. You have a natural way with the children and they absolutely adore you. Your choreography has blown me away time and time again creating beautiful powerful pieces for our competition teams and shows that have left students inspired.
As your mam it is hard to put into words how proud I am. Not because of the trophies, titles or achievements, but because of the person you have become. Kind, hardworking, supportive, talented and always willing to help others. Those qualities will take you far beyond any stage.
Wilkes Academy is so lucky to have you, but don't worry we're not letting you go completely! We are already looking forward to seeing your face pop up on Zoom and having you continue to be part of the RCSoD family from Swindon.
So here's to your next adventure. Chase every dream, embrace every opportunity, work hard, make memories and shine as brightly as we all know you can.
No matter where life takes you RCSoD will always be home.
Best of luck, my girl. We love you more than words can say and couldn't be prouder.
Big loves from your RCSoD family, forever and always. 💜✨
