Singing out loud in front of people has always been one of my biggest fears. I have tried and been able to avoid it until a couple of weeks ago. I knew we were going to have to sing in front of the class as an assessment, but it didn't really think about it until that day. Mr. Berger says that we will be rated on a scale of 1 to 5
The dreaded previous singer skips up to me, not even half as terrified as I am now, and stops right in front of me. Sudden embarrassment surges through me, and my heart starts running a marathon. I fall to the ground and pretend I am kidding with my stupid fears. I finally get up and start skipping around and singing, not too bad, until it hits me. I suddenly start laughing hysterically, and turn redder than an overripe tomato. Something just clicked, and I realized what was happening.
I stumbled around and looked at my class, all giggling, (which I don't normally mind, but in this situation... Things are pretty different.) I hit a few more messed up notes, and FINALLY, I finish, gasping for air, I get a grip to tell myself that I'm done. Then I say: "I think I got a 2 on my music grade..."
