My Failed Audition

It is always my dream to get pass through auditions. I failed twice.

First, was my singing audition for a recording company called P.I.S. I thought i would be able to make it. I was wrong. Perhaps i overestimate my credibility. I got out of the place with hidden tears underneath my face. It’s tough when you’re rejected because it brings down your morale and enthusiam in life.

I called one of my best friend, Elisha and release all my emotions to her. She’s always there when i’m in need. Then, I realised that there’s no point crying over such small matter because opportunities are everywhere. At first, i kept thinking i was not chosen because they based on favarotism[race]. However she told me something valuable “You’re not in this world to please everyone; you’re here to make sure the ones you love are happy because of you”. As long as i have faith in my talent, i should be able to pass through the rain.

My second audition was my school’s singing competition, Orion. I joined both solo and duet category with my fellow friend, Eunice. When i sang for solo, all of a sudden i forgot my lyrics. I was so shocked that my mind went blank. I thought to myself, i will NEVER get in. I got out of the room with a broken heart.

For the duet, me and Eunice had a good start. My confidence grew. Sadly enough to say, the confidence ended shortly when both of us started to reach the ‘off-tunes’. Again, i left the room with a pain in my heart. I never showed it to my friends though. Because i don’t want them to be affected as well. So the smile throughout the day was a fake one.

I will try and try but when it’s not enough, i will not give up and give in those people who didn’t appreciate my talent. In fact after failing two auditons, it strengthens me physically, mentally and spiritually. And whatever i do now, i don’t just do it for myself, but i do it for my friends and family especially for my late dad.
