Question:

I want to compete in The Talent Show, but I’m very shy, and most people probably won’t consider my act a talent. Should I even try out, or should I just avoid the stress of feeling like I’m going to get embarrassed and just sit in the crowd?

Answer:

Hi there! With the talent show coming up, it’s great that you asked this question because many students probably have the same worry. But it shouldn’t be a worry at all! The intent of the talent show is for students to show off what they think is their talent! It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. Students and parents come to the talent show to see what hidden talents people have, so something unexpected would make the show even more interesting! Do not be shy. Try out for the talent show. You only live once!
