Movie Star

When Jazz was 4, she was in a Disney commercial.  We had been walking around a kid festival when a talent scout spotted Jazz and could not get over her zany and precocious personality.  She was asked to come in and do a brief screening.  She sang her favorite Veggie Tales song, "A Bushel and a Peck" and she was in.

The first audition she went to, she landed an agent.  Shortly after, she filmed her Disney commercial. It was a promotion for Handy Manny Man.  She also won a couple of pageants.  Unfortunately, her disability got in her way and made auditions and pageants very difficult for her.  But in her mind, she is famous and a movie star.

This belief in herself and pride in herself is something I admire about her and pray never fully leaves her.  She has had many hard times recently and her self-esteem has been dwindling.  It breaks my heart because obviously someone saw the shining star within her to make her a movie star, even if it was for just a brief moment.  No matter how short it may be, enjoy your super star moment as long as you can and let it fuel pride in yourself.

Much Love!
