Becoming Yoda

I've recently had a next generation experience that's made me feel like wise old Yoda, which consequently also comes with feeling really, really old.

I've been teaching voice now for about 12 years and one of my favorite students from years back has now graduated with a vocal performance degree and is starting her own studio just down the road. I'm so proud. I remember having her as a 9th grader back when Luke was a baby and now she's married....(to the boy I told her would be perfect for her....soooo glad she listened to her teacher!!!! -attach song here: Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match.) Now she's starting out, even auditioned at Ft.Worth opera, like I did when I first moved here, and I'm so proud to have been a part of her life. You know how I love to give advice, and here's a youngun' even asking for it!

YODA-isms:

"Yoda a teacher is."
"Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try."
"Always in motion is the future."
"Always two there are, no more, no less: a master and an apprentice."
"When 900 years you reach, look as good, you will not."
"Help you I can, yes."
"May the force be with you."
