As you can see, we have a beautiful young "Lady" in our midst. Teira's growth physically and spiritually has been a great source of blessing to Megan and I. She has a very mature, confident, vibrant personality that exuberates a passion for life itself. She has also become quite the standard bearer amongst her peers, sometimes landing her in situations where she stands alone. Nonetheless, her stability creates a safe haven for those around her, and there is a genuine respect for her amongst her peers.
Teira totally embraced her new school (RMIA) with a passion. She became an instant hit with her teachers and worked hard in her various subjects at school. Her dedication and hard work was rewarded, as she took the majority of awards for her class at the end of the year. We are so proud of her.
During the school year, Teira participated in volleyball and basketball as well as being part of the drama class. She performed in both school plays this year, playing a major role in "A Mid Summer Nights Dream". Teira just recently performed in "Charlie And The Chocolate Factory" for the Majic Circle Theatre here in Montrose.
Being Teira's coach for the first time was awesome. My admiration and respect for her grew as she approached her first basketball season with commitent and a great attitude to learning a new sport. She surprised me with her natural ability to pick up basketball but her attitude toward being a team player and encouraging those around her as well as those on the other teams we played against, humbled me. She has without a doubt picked up traits which neither Megan or I have taught her, and applied them to her life, and for that we are truly blessed and proud to be her parents.
