So this last week Jaxton got the amazing opportunity to Audition for a pretty amazing gig in LA. He was very excited. We knew they needed one girl and one boy and they would get to work along side the amazing Chelsie Hightower and Jason Celaya. He went to the audition and it went great. We could tell they were interested in him because he stayed back for quite a while. We then were told if we didn't hear from them by the next day at noon than they didn't get the part. Well Jaxton got an email from Jason saying that the producer loved him and he was their favorite boy. That was such fun and exciting news but they were in the process of deciding wither they were going to change up how they launched the new product and that they may only want girls after all. We waited one more whole day to find out that the producer had changed the game plan for the launch of the product. I was so worried about telling Jaxton he was so excited to participate. We got a very nice email from Jason saying that he likes Jaxt and he will defiantly use him in a project sometime. When I first told Jaxt I could tell he wanted to crumble but we were at a friends house so I took him home thinking he just needed some time. During our drive home the conversation we had blew my mind. Although he was sad that plans had changed he really understood it. He said to me mom Me making it in this industry is no different than me learning to get a new BBOY move. I responded to him " how " he then proceeds to tell me that he hits the floor at least thousands of times and puts tons of hours in to stick just one move , stall, to master his footwork and to learn the choreography. He then said to me "does it suck? sure it does but am I crushed no. I am just going to keep doing what I do best and that's not being afraid of trying new things and failing until I get it right and putting in the hours to make me the best I can be. So I can live in my Excellence and if its meant for me to be in this industry it will happen." Then he says " but I could still use a good hug right now".
I seriously am blown away by his commitment level and his ability to reason with everything thrown his way. He is the hardest working 9 yr olds I know and I am so proud to call him my son. He is going great places cause he is not afraid to step out of his comfort zone to get there. I love you Jaxty Boy! You make me prouder than you will ever know and you should be proud of yourself you did get picked for the boy spot.
