The Roberts in Korea

a means to something bigger

"Security is mostly superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing." –Helen Keller

“. . . an adventure is not an end to itself but a means to something bigger.” -Jeff Goins

Spring break.   Hmmm . . . a time to rest and relax or, a time to "re-create" with a group of high schoolers at a children's home in India?

Here we go, on our way to something bigger. Pray for us!

Choir--Spring has Sprung

There is lots of music happening around our house and in our lives (that is a good thing).  The other day Sarah participated in the Spring Concert at TCIS.  Sarah sings in the high school choir.  It is a zero hour class, so she has to get up early three times a week and go to class at 7:30 a.m. 

I am glad she does.  The choir sounded great.

It is so fun to see Sarah perform in a concert with her friends.  The concerts are a time to celebrate the talents of all of the students and bask in the glow of community effort leading to beauty.  This blogger loves watching Sarah in concert and is savoring every moment.

IB Recital--Sarah's Junior Year

Sarah is taking IB Music in high school.  Her main "instruments" are her voice (which is beautiful) and the guitar (which she mostly uses to accompany her voice).  In IB Music she is learning lots about theory, music appreciation, style and so much more (sounds like School of Rock).  Performace is an important aspect of her IB Music class too.

Last week Sarah performed in her Junior Year IB Music Recital.  It was an amazing night of music presented by Sarah and classmates.  Sarah looked lovely at the recital and sounded even better.  We are proud of Sarah.

APAC Theater--Sarah

A couple of months ago Sarah auditioned for a spot on the TCIS APAC Theater Group--and she made it!  The APAC (Asia Pacific Activities Conference) Theater Event was held at Seoul Foreign School in Seoul this year.  

The TCIS APAC Theater group didn't get to fly anywhere for his APAC trip, but they enjoyed their time together in Seoul with all of the other participating schools.  At the event the students learned about culture, theater, dance and physical expression.  Sarah made new friends from other schools in Asia and enjoyed the opportunity to participate in the event. 

On Saturday night, at the culminating performance Sarah participated in the Korean Mask Dance presentation.   Sarah is on the far left of the picture.  It was fun to watch her perform.  We are proud of Sarah!

Black Tie

This blogger is trying to keep up with the Roberts in (and outside of) Korea in any way possible--even from a distance.  Sarah has been gone the last four days at an APAC Theater event in Seoul (look for a blog update soon) and Becca is on the other side of the International Date Line living the life a college student.

Becca recently went to the "Black Tie" event at NNU.  I think there was a mascarade element to it (i.e., the masks).  Becca and her friends all got fancied up and it looks like they had a good time.  I stole these pics from Facebook. Enjoy!
