Answer:
One year ago:-
I had been selected to sing in the school choir by my music teacher and this would be my first time on the stage. As I took my position with the rest of the choir,I looked up to see the audience and was shocked by the number of people that had gathered to watch us sing. I had never performed for such a large audience before and the nervousness was starting to get hold of me.
The music began and then it was time for me to start singing. And that is when the anxiety took complete hold of me. I went blank and not a single word came out of my mouth. I just continued staring at the audience with a blank expression,listening to the music and the voices of the other singers. Try as much as I would,not a single syllable would escape me.
The music came to an end and I hung my head down in shame. I had disappointed not only my music teacher, but also my parents who had been present at the event to proudly watch their son sing for the first time. As I exited the assembly hall I did not make eye contact with a single person. I could not answer the one question that was asked of me by many people.”Why did you not sing?!!”
Fast forward ahead
It’s almost my turn now.I try to brush aside all thoughts of the previous event and focus my attention on my breathing. My name is called out and I slowly began walking to the mic stand.I look up to see the audience and am greeted by the very same faces that I saw a year ago.But this time it’s different.I no longer feel the nervousness that I had felt the last time and I am ready to deliver my best.
I began my song,tapping my hands on my lap to keep the thala(or time signature as it is commonly known). The words come out smoothly and all the practice that I have done seems to be bearing fruit.Not for one moment do I feel the need to stop singing or to even look away from the audience and I even manage to make eye contact with the principal without getting nervous.The music comes to an end and I finish the song and climb down from the stage to take my place among the other students.
There is a short break and then it’s time for the prize distribution ceremony. The vice principal climbs onto the dias and takes the mic in her hands. The adrenaline begans to rush through my body as she begans announcing the runner up’s and I am in a deadly mix of both nervousness and excitement.I watch the other students go up to collect their prizes and the sweat is just coursing down my neck like a fast waterfall. I clench my fist tight as she reaches for the mike once again,this time to announce the winner of the annual singing competition. The entire auditorium is wrapped in a deadly and uncomfortable silence as each one of the students waits with bated breath.
She opens her mouth and I can already feel that I have won this. Before she has even finished calling out my name,I am on my feet and running towards the stage.The entire room erupts into applause and I feel like a god going up to take his place in heaven. I can see the very same teachers and students who had been present at my previous performance, now clapping for me and congratulating me as I make my way to the stage.
I reach up and for a moment it feels like I am in paradise as I collect the prize and shake hands with the principal. Most of me is unable to even believe that this is happening and I wonder whether I am in a dream that needs to be woken up from. The applause continues as I make my way down the stage,this time my head held high in pride and happiness.
I have performed many times since then but the memories of that wonderful day will never be forgotten by me. To become good at something that you were terrible at feels amazing and even today when I feel myself loosing hope,I remember this incident and it gives me the strength to carry on
