五口的美國生活劇場

看到學校有才藝表演,雖然我家晴晴甚麼樂器也不會,江湖一點訣就是唱歌,剛好有個很會彈琴的好男伴,還是勇敢報下去,她們練了好幾周,等到試演的那天,穿著整齊很盛重的去參加試演,當天的表演略顯遜色,晴晴愈唱愈小聲,彈鋼琴的小男生也彈了兩段忘了一段,不過校長很鼓勵的說:她們是幼稚園生,只要敢站出來,就給她們機會上台,鼓勵他們正式上台前加緊練習

我們每周平均三次練習,利用下課的半小時,慢慢看見她們的進步,意外的也是她們鋼琴初體驗,看見同學這麼會彈琴,讓她們很喜歡這個樂器,在家沒鋼琴,彈著鋼琴書也想跟E一樣享受音樂的樂趣,連最近步喜歡學心東西的晴晴,都說想跟E一樣厲害

這次主題是SMALL WORLD,我們選的歌曲是SIX LITTLE DUCKS,跟題目一點也沾不上關係,不過也通過初試可以上台,後來發現只有第一首鋼琴曲獨奏是SMALL WORLD,大家表演的跟主題一點關係也沒有,全憑著敢站上台的勇氣就足夠

很多印度小女孩表演跳舞

還有表演武術

最令我感動的是這一個表演,DON'T LAUGH AT ME

其中這段歌詞

Don't get your pleasure from my pain
In God's eyes we're all the same
some day we'll all have perfect Wings

眼淚止也止不住,一定要好好讓晴芸聽懂這首歌的意涵

"Don’t laugh at me"Lyrics

I'm a little boy with glasses,
the one they call a geek
a little girl who never smiles
cuz I got braces on my teeth
and I know how it feels to cry myself to sleep

I am that kid on every playground,
whose always chosen last
A single teenage mother
trying to overcome her past
You don’t have to be my friend
if it's too much to ask

Don't laugh at me, don't call me names
Don't get your pleasure from my pain
In God's eyes we're all the same
some day we'll all have perfect Wings
Don’t laugh at me

I'm the beggar on the corner
You’ve passed me on the street
I wouldn't be out here begging
if I had enough to eat
and don't think I don’t notice
that our eyes never meet
I lost my wife and little boy
when someone crossed that yellow line
The day we layed'em in the ground
was the day I lost my mind
Right now I'm down to holding
this little cardboard sign

晴晴這一組很棒,順利的完成表演,媽媽外表很平靜,內心波濤洶湧,畢竟是晴晴第一次站在同學老師面前,真的以她為榮,透過這個活動,我深刻的感受到美國教育吸引我的特點,就是她們很真誠的讚美,晴晴遇到每個老師,都知道她上台表演,不斷讚美她的歌聲,那種很被重視的感覺,是身為媽媽的我也被感動著,如果沒有鼓勵她參加各式活動,這樣的讚美跟自信是不會從天而降,我很建議在k的時候,比賽氛圍沒有這麼濃厚,只要敢秀就可以上台,這時候是最適合培養上台的膽量,只要養成上台不害怕的經驗,面對以後成千上萬簡報的難題都可以兵來將擋
