“Sarah please sit down, do you want to hear a story about me when I was your age.” “Sure grandma,”said Sarah. “When I was around your age I had a similar problem you know.” “Your meddling twin sister put you in your schoole talentshow,” replied Sarah. yes but the meddler was my bestfriend.” Her name was Angel . She was beautiful, smart, and talented. She had aheart of gold and always had your best intrest. She had strait A’s like me you know. One day we were walking down the halls after theaderwhen we saw a big paper. We got closer and it was the schoole talentshow poster with a sighn up shheeet hangig. It was big and colorfull with big glittery letters and it ws so colorfull full of pinks reads oranget and maney more. We read the poster and almost instantly Angel said,” you should perform, hay you should sing .” I quickly shook my head and she rieplied, ‘’suite yourself,” ans wrote aon the signh up sheet. Then we walked into the lunch area and sat down at awer usual seats. I looked around and noticed we sat at the table next to the jocks they were called jocks because they were always doing spors and the so called ‘’nereds’’ I called them smarts.

The next day during theader the taeche called out the partisipians . Al of a sudent I heard the teacher Mr.j call out “Jane Jones,” and my heart fell to my feet. Iraised my hand and said ,” there must be a mistake, I didn’t sign my self up to participate in the school talent show.” “No mistake it clearly has written Jane Jones, besides once your name is on the list you ither perform or get an F for the semester.” I looked back at Angel ans she worded the word sorry at that moment it all made sence .

Once that bell wrang I I ran out of class and went running to the field. I glanced back and angel was right in back of me . She screamed out,”im sorry.” I replied with an angry tone in my voice ,”HOW COULD YOU, WHY WOULD YOU ,” then she said ,” it’s a great chance for you to do you have to learn to stop downing yourself.” I realized I had to do it either way so I ran up to her and gave her a hug. Once we got out of schoole we went to the park and began to talk she said to me ,” im glad your doing this you have a great voice.” I noded my head yes even though I was terrified in the inside . the month went by super quick. Before I kew it it was the day . I woke up with a stomachache because I was that nervice to tell you the least as I was getting ready I probably went to the bathroom like 10 times at least. While I was petting on my slippers my mom came in and said,” honey don’t worrie me and your father know you’ll do great because your talented and smart. You are the only person that doesn’t believe in you,” then gave me a hug and left . my dad came in a few moments later and said,” well don’t you look great . who would have known my little girl is going to perform in a talent show , I justwanted to let you know youll be fine and you are a very talented soul,” then gave me a hug and left. After 20 minutes angelica came helpoe me do my hair . it was long and had curled curled ends and some puple or lavender butterfly clips.
 
Once I got to school I had to go strait to the school auditorium. Befor perfoming we were all in the back wating for our turn. Maney people were nervice some actualy vomiting. Before I knew it I was up. As I waswalking on to the stage I was thinking that everyone would laugh at me or make a mokery of me the next day in school. I could feel my hands getting clammy. Once the meusic began to play I began to think thers no turning back now so I began to sing. Once the music stopped playing the crowd applauded me and some even hoard. Then the moment everyone had been anticipating the awards they began with third then second once I heard I wasn’t second I thought o well at least I tried . but then an amazing thing happened they announced first and I won. “did you really win grandma.” “yes I sure did now go to bed iths past your bed time but never forget don’t ever dout your self or put your self down because if you belive in yourself you could accomplish anythins so learn from my mistakes and don’t repeat history.”
