I was very much like your daughter at that age but even worse. I had no self confidence and yet I did not run with the crowd like so many. Tell your daughter that..... No matter how hard life might be never give up your hopes and dreams.

Comment from NicciFaye
I know exactly what you mean! My daughter is the same way. I just asked the other day are you done writing poetry. You haven't written in a while. She says, "No mom. It's just not my favorite thing to do." She is a superb artist thought. Draws out of this world. Love anime. This was beautiful and inspirational. Loved it.
I stumbled upon two recommendations/spags. I put the changes in ().
-->I read her work and (was) am amazed at the emotion she manages to make me feel.
-->She is less than confident about her looks (and) her artistic talents.

How old is your daughter. Keirry is turning sixteen and is the same. Is a prolific artist with anime and portraits as her love. They should connect on instagram. Is your daughter more of an introvert because Keirry is. Once she meets someone or talks to them she's fine. If you think she'd be interested please let me know. Thank you for the wonderful review.

Wow! Congratulations to that talented fifteen year old! And, thanks so much for sharing the news with us :)
I really don't think you would bore us by telling us just how excited you all were. I'd like to hear about your reactions anyway. Jumping up and down?
Thanks again, and God Bless,
Anita

Please keep us posted. I always enjoy when children do good. We often hear too often when they do wrong. Please give her a huge hug from your FS friends.

Will do. She blushed and acted like it was no big deal at first. Now she's getting excited. Thanks for the great review. Gretchen
Comment from Jay Squires
You must be SOOOO proud of Keirry, Gretchen. She has to have loads of talent to win the state title. What is it after the national, the Nobel Peace Prize? LOL, tell her I wish her well.
A few things you should attend to:
Bring out feelings that we didn't even know we could feel. [BRINGS out feelings "She" is implied.]
It seems to be a reoccurring theme in her life. [... to be a RECURRING theme ...]
She is less than confident about her looks, her artistic talents. [I don't know what you're trying to say here. Since you were talking about her poetry earlier, the "less than" for her looks compares to poetry. But then you threw in "artistic talents" as well, which doesn't have anything to do with either (unless you consider "artistic talents" in its broadest sense.]
casually told her dad and I that she had won. [... told her dad and ME ... >> me is the object of the sentence. The key to remember is to take "her dad" out of the sentence. You wouldn't say, "... she told I that she had won."]

Comment from Rosalyne
Hi, Gretchen.
Congratulations to your daughter! What wonderful news, and definitely a budding writer. Great reaction to her win,"Heck yes. I think I win 75 dollars." LOL
Looking forward to reading more. She is already a winner and the Nationals is icing on the cake.
Bye
Rosalyne :)

Comment from Sankey
What a great achievement. Thanks for sharing. I wish her well. Seems she got all excited about the prize money and not so buzzed about recognition of her talent. Just one error not sure about the hyphen but see what you think. to be a re[oc](-?)curring theme

Comment from royowen
Well done Gretchen, one of the most enjoyable things about one's children is seeing them grow into, and fulfill dreams we've had (have) for them, both my girls have great talent, but more than that, they are beautiful people, and that's a huge bonus, and they decided it all themselves. Your daughter sounds not only talented, but a lovely young lady, enjoy her and those other wonderful kids of yours, they.are the Lord's heritage, and His pride and joy. Well done, congratulations, her success is your success, my blessing for a wonderful article, and just being you Gretchen, Roy

Fantastic! You should sign her up on FS and post some of those poems. Maybe that would spark her interest when we tell her how talented she is. Great story Gretchen You have a very talented family. Hugs. Nancy
