The Lady and the Lyre

with teacher/coach Vi Minh

I would like to thank everyone who was directly involved in the realization of this project. Without them, none of this would have been possible.
To Belcolade, the organizer of the event, who gave us this great opportunity and, most importantly, provided the chocolate. To my school, Pearson Adult and Career Centre, who put up with my frantic, stressed out (and not very nice) self during the last 6 weeks. Who also provided top notch facilities and tended to my every need.
To my fellow competitors: you are all so tatented. I loved your work and your spirit.
My teachers: To Vi Minh, always calm, cool and collected until of course the day of when he's babbling a mile a minute about all the things i need to remember. Boy was he stressed. Weren't we all!
To Fabrice, my motivator. Claudette and Alfred were always there to help me with everything I needed.
And Pierre, who drove me and my piece in his minivan (going the speed limit) and set up everything at Complexe Desjardins. Great guy.
And of course my father. My Rock. Who listened to my ideas and helped me work through the problems that I faced along the way. Who woke up with me at 4:45am to drive me to school to pick up my showpiece. Who stayed at the competition from 10am till 6pm, just as nervous and shaky as I was. Who took all the amazing pictures.
Dad I could not have done this without you. You rock!
To everyone who took the time (and on a work day!) to come out and see my piece I thank you for your support.
