That hasn\u2019t happened in any of her auditions before or after, but it happened tonight. This turned into the greatest learning lesson and was such a good experience, because true character shows when you make a mistake and have to pick up the pieces, which she did so beautifully. She\u2019s one tough cookie! And\u2026 if she decides to pursue acting further, she\u2019ll always have this experience to teach and encourage those who look up to her to keep going and never give up! We could not have been more proud of her tonight. Back stage, we looked into each other\u2019s eyes, and she said, \u201cIt\u2019s okay.\u201d And I said, \u201cIt\u2019s totally okay.\u201d We both teared up and then that was that. It was all smiles for the rest of the night. Whew! She\u2019s so brave!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pondfam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_9547.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" title=\"IMG_9547\" style=\"border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px\" border=\"0\" alt=\"IMG_9547\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pondfam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_9547_thumb.jpg\" width=\"880\" height=\"620\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So cute when Ms. Montgomery\u2019s daughter photo bombed this picture!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pondfam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_9570.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" title=\"IMG_9570\" style=\"border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px\" border=\"0\" alt=\"IMG_9570\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pondfam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_9570_thumb.jpg\" width=\"880\" height=\"689\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Emily and Ava have been such steady, constant friends for Noelle since kindergarten.
