Flora took a deep breath and stepped onto the stage. Her heart was racing like a galloping horse, but she smiled brilliantly at the audience. The choir conductor, standing with his hands raised, met her eyes. When she gave him a nod, he cued the pianist to begin playing.
Flora’s mind flashed back nearly four years to her first choir audition. She remembered that the choir conductor had strained to hear her voice. “You have promising talent,” he had commented, “but we need to work on your confidence.”
Over the years, Flora had poured her time and energy into extra voice lessons. Now, here she was, performing a solo at her final concert. The conductor beamed as Flora’s clear voice reached the back of the room.
