The singing-in-front-of-people thing came a bit too early. It’s not the talent fest but I was chosen to sing for the program today. I originally wanted to refuse the offer because I had a sore throat and it’s hard to sing. But there, I agreed. When I performed my first song, it was okay because that was the song I practiced. But when I was finished, they wanted me to sing more so I couldn’t do anything but prepare another song. I was actually nervous because I wasn’t ready. I never expected that I’d be called to sing again. But I was. And it was a fail. I didn’t like my second and third performance because I was unprepared. The parents and teachers said that they loved it, but I wasn’t satisfied with my performance. I knew I could do better than that. My mom kept on assuring me that I did well.

It’s still hard for me to get over it. I just keep on thinking about my favorite singers, who also mess up once in a while. Sometimes they say that they messed up when they sang this certain song, but no one even noticed that they made a mistake. And unlike their performances, mine is not shown on national TV. So who cares if I mess up? Wow, positive thinking! Haha.

And like Danny Gokey, my favorite American Idol 8 contestant, I’ll just laugh at my mistakes. Dream on, dream on!
