tonight was my formal induction ceremony into NJHS & i was so nervous! i still can't believe i'm part of NJHS. from 600+ 7th graders over 150 students were invited to audition to become a member and only 48 were accepted and i was one of them!!! it was awkward having to stand on stage in the high school auditorium in you're fanciest attire for almost an hour with tons of people staring at you waiting to hear your name called. our rehearsal the night before didn't cover much so we were all winging it which was pretty amusing. at one point we thought the table might catch on fire because a candle was doing everything it could not to fall over. the 1st couple of rows in the audience would gasp every once in a while when we thought for sure it was going to topple over. then when it came time to say the pledge, i think we are all so nervous we had no idea what was coming out of our mouths. i know i drew a blank & just said watermelon over and over so you couldn't tell i didn't know what i was saying. shhh, don't tell anyone! my biggest fear is when they called my name & i had to walk across the stage i wouldn't sound like a monster clomping. i'm still getting used to heels, thankfully i didn't sound like that at all... phew. and then it was over and i had my certificate in my hand. i can't wait to start this journey & see where it leads me... yay!
after the ceremony it was time for the reception which included eating lots of cookies, taking tons pictures & laughing with your friends.
talk about the proudest daddy on the planet!!!
