When I was at the hotel teaching my class another group was there- a child beauty pageant. Seeing them really made me appreciate your program even more. All these kids who could be learning something great, creating something new, or even just playing were instead being told to pose, put on a fake smile, and "beat out all the other kids." In the bathroom I overheard- a mother told her little girl, younger than Allie, that her face "looked awful", and screamed at her because she had gotten a little magic marker on her face.

I think your work is more than a little magical, because you help kids shine and have their "golden moment" but at the same time become part of a group of other actors that they care for and respect, working towards a project as a whole. So many programs do one or the other but rarely both. It's not magic of course, it's your love and concern that reaches out to them.

You are so wonderful doing what you did today for OSU Child Care.  The kids had a ball, and I had a ball seeing you in action.  You are incredibly warn-hearted, generous, and passionate.
