Bekah Starts Dancing

Bekah came to me at the beginning of the school year and told me she was going to join the drill team because a friend that had just moved to Westside had ask her to join with her. Given that she hadn't danced since she was five, has always been shy getting up in front of people, and has ataxia I'll admit I was a little concerned. Her first performance I felt a lot of anxiety for her, but then I realized that is all she had to do was smile her gorgeous smile and do her best and people loved it! It has been such a joy watching her dance this season and I am so proud of her. She says she is not coming back next year, but we will see what happens with time. Regardless, my heart is full that my baby girl with ataxia-telangiectasia is still dancing at 16! Whatever you do in life Bekah Ward I hope that you will continue to do it with the same determination and your beautiful smile!
