I believe Gracie should be the winner of the talent show. She is the most humble child in the competition. She may feel a lot of pressure for her family, but she seems to come from a great family. They must be very close to sacrifice what they have for her to have her dream come true. Gracie's mom encourages her to pursue her dreams without pushing her and belittling her. Many of the other mothers and children are jealous that Gracie has won some competitions, but Gracie is genuinely surprised when she wins. Some of the girls act as if they have it in the bag, but Gracie does her best without any expectations. The mothers set their expectations that their children will win, but I have always believed that when you set yourself up with expectations, you set yourself up for failure. Expectations are reasons for resentments. I would be proud to be the mother of Gracie. She seems to have her feet planted firmly on the ground
