Advice Request

This person wants to try out for color guard, but her mom isn't that supportive of the idea.

Hey girl!

So, my advice to you is pretty simple. Go for CG! Your mum is supposed to be encouraging you to push yourself. And, hey, even if you don't get the part, you tried and that counts for a lot! I personally admire your resilience. I haven't met many people who are willing to try again, and you are a great example of this. I can see the confidence in you from here, so let it out. I have faith that if you put in effort and learn from your mistakes, you'll be rewarded. Also, your friends sound like awesome people to be around; you're very lucky in that department. Do us a favour and surprise your mum by getting in! I'd love to see the look on her face, and I'm sure you would too.

We really hope you get in!
