Autumn has been staying after school one day a week all year to participate in a knowledge bowl competition for her school. This year's theme was "The Arts." We encouraged her to participate because she has a love for the arts and because she is scared stiff in front of people. Especially if she has to say or do something by herself and not in a group. It was not always fun to study and her team didn't win, but I was so proud of her when she answered a bonus question all by herself and got it right earning her team 15 points. That was enough for me. She is such a smart girl and the information they learned was the same stuff I should have learned in my college art appreciation courses. What a great experience for her.
