I often wonder where the vast domain of interests of a daughter, will lead. She was given many opportunities to find her way in the interests we get from trying out much .... she and we had the bane of the only child tag ...
We all socially interact differently, in the world surrounds. We sent her out to drama groups to give the necessary skills of interacting in an environment and to quash her abundantly restlessness of inquisitive ways, you'd think it be easy with one child... it is harder work in some aspects ... there is no siblings like I have which brings a special understanding on so many different levels ... It gave her a different aspect along with the complex time with her Dad for all her scripts, filming that she had accessed too through different outlets at museums, college and the community etc ...
She requested some of her film equipment that stayed here while she moved about each uni year ... for many reasons within a group of friends they stayed in halls for the duration of the first degree. Now in a more permanent base she wanted to pick up her filming again ... for which I am pleased ... she has a illustrious quality, that yes I am biased, of story telling, from script writing, stage direction to editing to the final piece ... the sounding board we give each other for constructive comments ...
She is fascinated like her deceased Dad with politics .... belonging to the youth councils through school led to much beyond those meetings. Youth polictics was one avenue ... the arts another ... leading to interview, debating, campaigning and public speaking techniques ... in both politics and story in narrative ...
And belonging to the school signing choir .... and now teaching me Makaton basics too ... and reversing the teachings of English from surpassing myself with her amazing knowledge in writings and story telling ... you'd never know she was once a mischievous monkey! A bit like her maternal Grandma the youngest twin siblings of her generation...
