When I was negative

When I was negative

One of the best thing on earth ever created called Karaoke machine. I have always been loving to sing and I have to say that I have an amazing voice. But life isn't fair, my talent came with a shyness. My singing could only be heard in the bathroom. My mom and dad had always been pushing me to sing for the competitions or any party we went. My answer was always a "NO".

One time dad told his friends that I was the most talented singer. He seemed to be so proud of me. His friends were so excited to hear me sing. I was a little upset inside because what did dad put me through. I was pushed and pushed to go sing but I was too shy. I felt like the whole world was on my shoulder, I told dad couldn't do it. Then he offered to give me 20 bucks for singing one song, but I thought I would rather pay 30 bucks with the money my piggy bank to him to stop asking me to do it. I could tell dad was very embarrassed for flattering his own daugther in front of his friends too much.

That night on the way home, I realized that I embarrassed my dad a lot. He was so quiet in the car. I felt so guilty for embarrassing my dad. I lost 20 bucks and made him mad. I wondered how pround I would have been if I went up on the stage and sang for my dad. Also I would have been rich for having 50 bucks saving in my piggy bank. Later on that night I told him sorry for not doing what he wanted me to. He said he was so tired of my shyness and told me to get out of my shell.

I felt even more guilty, so I told him to sit down and I would sing for him. He smiled and said "Yeah! That's my girl." I used all my bravery to sing for him, I was very nervous and my heart was beating so fast. After the singing, I realized that it wasn't that hard. Dad said I was the best and gave me 2o bucks and then he took the 10 bucks back because he thought I was silly for being too shy. He also sent me to a singing academy and I knew that singing was what I love to do the mostI became more brave after that night.

Now I never refuse to sing for anyone and it seems so hard for me to get off the stage because I love it so much. Now dad is the one to tell me to shut up.
