As a quiet person, I never imagined myself standing onstage in front of a crowd.
21, my best friend Lisa saw something in me that I didn't see in myself. She always said to me, “Your voice is wonderful. ” She even recommended 22 I take part in a choir concert(合唱音乐会) at the City Hall.
“The concert is coming up. You would be perfect for it. ” she said 23 one day after class. I was shocked and looked at her in confusion. 24 I loved singing in the shower, singing in public was a completely different story.
