Ethan's Piano Recital

Ethan had a piano recital last week on Thursday. He was really nervous about it but did a great job playing his song. After all the students had played their songs, the teacher presented awards. At the piano evaluation last week, the judge had chosen winners of the older and younger divisions and there were trophies for those awards. But the teacher had chosen one student to give the "Most Improved Student" award to.

Ethan really wanted the trophy for "Most Improved." All the way over to the recital he kept telling me that he was sure he wouldn't get it because "I never win anything!" I told him to be positive but he was sure he wasn't going to win anything. Well, when it was time for awards he was nervous. He wanted the trophy but didn't think he had a chance. Then....his name was called and he won the trophy for the "Most Improved Student." You should have seen the shock on his face!! His teacher handed him the trophy and then had to pose him because he was in shock and couldn't do anything. The audience members were laughing at how hilarious he was. It was cute and he was so excited.
