Nina felt nervous this morning. She couldn’t believe that she decided to try out for a talent show. She loved to sing but she disliked singing in front of other people.

Taking a deep breath, she pushed open the door of the theater and went inside.

The room was filled with laughing children. Nina saw Luz, James and others from her class. The bright, sunny room left her no place to hide. A few teachers sat on chairs. They waited for the children to become quiet.

“Hi, Nina!” Luz called out. “I didn’t think you would try out. You are so timid(膽怯的) in front of people.”

“That’s not true,” Nina said. “I’m not shy at all.”

“Yeah, right,” Luz chuckled(輕聲地笑) and ran off to find a seat.

One by one the students got up on the stage(舞臺) and did their acts.

“Nina Martinez!” a voice called out. It was Mrs. Brent, the music teacher. Nina rose from her chair. She felt small as she walked to the huge, empty stage. Her face was hot and her shaking hands were as cold as ice.

“I-I-” Nina began, and then stopped. “I can’t,” she said softly.

“Close your eyes,” said Mrs. Brent gently. “Forget about everyone else. Just sing.”

Nina felt silly, but she gave it a try. She closed her eyes and raised her voice and sang out. Her hands stopped shaking. The song was so nice that everybody enjoyed it.

Nina heard Mrs. Brent clap (鼓掌) loudly at the end of her song. “That’s the first time I have really heard your voice,” she said. “You are in the show!”

Nina let out a big sigh(嘆息) and smiled happily.

Parents are the most generous people on Earth. However, we often fail to thank them for their efforts and love. And by the time we realize this, it’s too late. So don’t wait for Mother’s Day or Father’s Day to say sweet things to your parents.

“I miss you all the time.” Although you are busy, don’t forget to call your parents and tell them how much you miss them when they are not around.

“I thank you for all your efforts.” Maybe you haven’t thanked them in words, but you surely did it in your mind. Hug(擁抱) them and tell them how much you thank them for their efforts. You can’t possibly give back everything they’ve done for you, but this small act will make them feel special.

“I’m sorry.” You might have said things that hurt them deeply, but they still believe in you and continue to shower their love on you. You may want to go back in time and make everything right. But since that can’t happen, all you can do is say sorry from the bottom of your heart.

“Thank you for making me what I’m today.” You can never thank them enough for this. They’ve always been your strength to move forward in life. They have taught you all the small and big things about life. Let them know they are the real heroes in your life.

“You are great role models.” Your parents have been great role models and you should always respect them. They always encourage you to work hard and become a successful man in life. Even though you may have lost in a race or failed an exam, they were and still are your number one fans.
