Do It Anyway

Martina McBride's song "Anyway" talks about things that might not ever come to be, that might scare or intimidate you, that may never be appreciated, or that might not even be accepted, but you do them anyway because you know it's good for you and it's where your heart and hope lie. Therefore, knowing that how my family acts, how we look, what we choose to enjoy, or even what we say and believe may not be appreciated or accepted, I still want us to be who we are anyway...do it anyway.

World Culture's Night '11

Every year Aaris' school has a World Culture's night. The kindergarten kid come in under komodo dragon costumes. Then, the 1st and 3rd grade sing and perform songs representing different cultures. The rest of the grades have artwork, presentations, quizzes, food samples, etc. set up all over the school for everyone to explore with "passports" you get at the door. Aaris grade performed 4 songs. In each song a group of kids came down and did some choreography with the songs. The kids are encouraged to dress in attire representing a different culture. Aaris wore the outfit Mimi and Papaw got her in Greece. She did a great job. No surprise since she loves singing and performing.
