Nikkelle is offically a Troyette!

Nikkelle was debating if she should try out for drill team or not. She wasn't sure if she wanted her whole life to revolve around drill team. She has been working really hard the last three years to get to this decision. Then once she was here she wasn't quite sure. Well she decide she would do it this year and maybe next year. But not her senior year she wants to be able to have fun, and do Cosmetology School. She had drill clinic for a week she dance 2:30- 5:30 every night except Thursday night she had figured she had danced 7 hours. She was extremely tired, so I let her sleep in and miss Seminary. Friday was try-outs, we were there for 3 1/2 hours. It was long and made everyone have butterflies. It was very exciting when they handed out the letters. They couldn't open them until everyone had theirs. Nikki opened hers and it said she had made the team. It was also a hard time, because some of Nikki's friends and girls she dances with didn't make the team. Nikki was sad for them. Later that night about 11:40 her coach and the Senior girls from this year come around and kidnap the girls. They have a party and play games on getting to know each other. She didn't get home until 3 am. Again, another late night for Nikkelle. But she has the weekend to get caught back up on her sleep. Congratulations Nikkelle!!!! We are so proud of you. Keep up the dedication and you will be able to do whatever you want to do.
