Music is something I could never live without. As a little kid, singing my heart out and trying out for the school play really made me1. There was nothing that could keep me away from my2 until high school.
Every eighth grader who wanted to be in the high school show choir 3the audition (试唱) for a program. When it was my4to enter the room, I got very5my throat was dry and my heart raced. The audition6 like this, the introduction, the song of choice and the range check the choir director played a note on the piano which I had to 7. Before I knew it, the audition was over. I felt nothing but8, for the vibrato (颤音) was amazing and I also hit every9.
Weeks passed and the list of who had made it into the show choir was posted. When I was 10 the show choir list, I found my name.11, this wasn't what I had expected. " Angelica—alternate (候补者).＂
An alternate? Was my audition that12 ? I thought to myself. After I saw this, my13disappeared. My outside showed I wasn't14but on the inside my whole world had broken up. I had no 15of taking the show choir at all.
A year later, one day I was at a restaurant that held karaoke to the customers. My parents begged me to go up and sing. I said no at first but finally I got enough16 to go up. It made me 17 at the beginning, but I started off my song and gained more confidence as I continued. When I hit the high notes in "I know I'm not the only one", the people eating cheered for me. I18I hadn't got into one program but that did not mean I had to give up all hope, and that I19 had that passion. The lesson I learned was if you are 20or do not get the outcome you want, and it is something you're in love with, don't give up.
