Raphaella

"Picture this- an over excited, bright eyed- admittedly a little over zealous 4 year old little girl sits eagerly awaiting her first ever school report. As she excitedly tears open the envelope she asks her Mum to read out loud the box marked ‘music’, it reads, "Raphaella can sing in tune". As expected or perhaps unexpectedly she is disappointed, because to her- her love of music and singing even at this age coupled with her big brown eyes full of pre-school optimism feels like this matter of fact statement is so flat and impersonal that it may as well not have even been written at all.
