Aliyah Turns 10
Aliyah, a brave young girl in Canberra, is eagerly anticipating her 10th birthday, but faces a daunting challenge when she learns there's a talent contest at her party. With the pressure mounting, Aliyah must overcome her fears and doubts to shine on her special day.
Aliyah was thrilled about her upcoming 10th birthday party in Canberra. She planned a fun day at the park with her friends, complete with basketball games and a pizza picnic. But when her best friend, Emma, suggested a talent contest as the main event, Aliyah felt a pang of worry. " - What if I'm not good enough?" Aliyah wondered aloud. Her fear of performing in front of everyone threatened to overshadow her excitement.
Determined to impress her friends, Aliyah decided to learn a new basketball trick for the contest. She spent hours practicing after school at the local court. But each time she tried, she would trip over her own feet or miss the hoop. " - I just can't do it," Aliyah sighed, feeling frustrated. Her initial excitement was quickly turning into disappointment.
Aliyah tried to think of other talents she could showcase, but nothing seemed right. She attempted to bake muffins with her mom, but they came out burnt and inedible. " - Maybe I should just skip the contest," she told her mom, feeling even more discouraged. Her mom gave her a comforting hug, reminding her that it’s okay to not get everything right the first time.
After a string of failures, Aliyah considered giving up on the contest altogether. She sat on the swing in the park, watching other kids having fun. " - What if I embarrass myself in front of everyone?" she confided in her friend Emma, who joined her on the swing. The thought of standing in front of her friends, feeling like a failure, was too much to bear.
Just when Aliyah was about to call it quits, her neighbor, Mr. Thompson, noticed her distress. He shared stories of his own childhood fears and how he overcame them with courage. " - Remember, being brave doesn't mean not being scared. It means doing it anyway," he encouraged her. Inspired by his words, Aliyah decided to give the contest another shot, with renewed determination.
On the day of her party, Aliyah stood nervously before her friends. She took a deep breath and performed a simple but heartfelt basketball routine. To her surprise, the crowd erupted in cheers. " - You did it!" Emma exclaimed, hugging her. Aliyah realized that the real victory was having the courage to try, making her 10th birthday truly unforgettable.
