Maggie's Opera Trip

When I used to sing, I was so scared I would cover my eyes.  My friends, Bryanna, always made me sing at her Christmas party.  I love singing.  My mom and dad got a singing teacher for me and she taught me how to sing better.  She invited my mom and dad to watch me sing at church and they both cried.  I was asked to audition for an opera that is going to study in Italy in August.  They called me back twice to audition.  I was so happy, but didn't think I would be picked.  My mom got a phone call last night saying that they picked me and some other girls to go learn opera in Italian, and sing in an Italian Opera House .  They gave me a partial scholorship, but I have to raise the rest of the money on my own. They will teach me to sing, but we have to get there.

THIS IS MAGGIE'S MOM...We are very proud of Maggie.  I thought I would share the link that gives you a good idea of what they will be doing in Italy.  It really is a once in a lifetime dream come true...
