clap and cheer

[FISHINLADY]

Whenever I'm disappointed with my
spot in life, I
stop and think
about little Jamie Scott. Jamie was
trying out
for a part in a
school
play. His mother told me that he'd
set his heart
on being in it,
though
she feared he would not be chosen.
On the day
the parts were
awarded,
I went with her to collect him after
school.
Jamie rushed up to her,
eyes shining with pride and
excitement. "Guess
what Mom," he
shouted,
and then said those words that will
remain a
lesson to me: "I've
been
chosen to clap and cheer."
