So I realized I never posted this story. Hadley loves to read, but she also loves to write. She writes crazy imaginative stories. Last year, at her end of the year awards she was recognized for a submission she had written. This year when it came time for the contest her Daddy tried to coach her along with her teacher. They asked her to submit a creative writing piece and to really think about she wanted to write. Well my girl for the better part of the year has been writing an informational paper on why she should have a German Shepard. So when it came time to create her submission, what do you think she did, listen to her Daddy....? Um no, she wrote an informational paper on dogs. To say her Daddy was less than thrilled would be an understatement. It was during my California trip when the writing and submitting phase of the contest occurred. It broke my heart, I couldn't be there to comfort her when her Daddy expressed his disappointment. She was so upset, but when her Daddy asked her why? She tried to explain that, it was what she wanted to write about. In my mind, she was standing up to those trying to kill her voice, kind of like a reporter writing a story for the New York Times and not letting their editor, sway their voice. Which I love!!!!
The funny part of the story, is she was selected as her Class Winner for her submission. You go girl!!!! Love you!
