One thing he said that's part of the
TRIKE mission is to make kids well
rounded. "We give them life skills they
need—a growth mind, confidence,
strengthening their character. We
want them to discover themselves,
whether it's their artist's voice or
their engineer's voice or their doctor's
voice—we want to help you find that
voice, which is why we have some
great scholarships available."
For Lily and Gracie, finding their
voice through theater education
doesn't necessarily mean they want
to pursue acting careers, though it's
a career path Lily is considering. "But
I'm really into art and animation. Or I
might do set design and tech."
Gracie was quick to say, "I want to be
a voice actor." This is the kind that's
behind animated characters, like in
Frozen.
Their mom feels confidence is the
best thing TRIKE has done for her
kids. "They're NEVER afraid of doing a
speech in front of their class or a group
project. They're very comfortable
presenting." With her girls and boys
involved in TRIKE, "it brings everyone
in our family together."
