Momager-someone who supports and finds auditions for various things.
I call my mom a momager because she is always looking for auditions and programs. One day my mom sent out a video of me singing to the Nora Brennan casting company.

When the the whole thing was done I met my mom in the hall. We ran to the elevator and then to our cab. We had to go to the airport to catch our flight! Two weeks went by. They were full of waiting, and waiting, and waiting. Then one day in my social studies class I get a call to go down to the office. Everyone thought I’d forgotten my lunch box again, but I had it. I go to the office and see my mom. She says, “We are going back up!” It took me a second to realize I’d gotten a second
