Mickie's Music
Mickie is a shy young girl with an extraordinary musical gift but a huge fear of performing in front of others. She dreams of attending the gifted kids music academy in Burlington, Iowa, but her stage fright seems insurmountable. Follow Mickie as she encounters obstacles, considers giving up, and finally discovers the courage to shine on stage.
Mickie loved music more than anything in the world. She could play any instrument and sing beautifully. But Mickie had a big problem - she was terrified of performing in front of people. Her dream was to join the gifted kids music academy, but auditions required her to play on stage. Mickie felt her heart race just thinking about it.
Mickie decided to practice playing in front of her family first. She hoped it would help her get used to an audience. But as soon as she stood up to play, her hands trembled and her voice wavered. - I can't do this, Mickie whispered, feeling tears well up.
Mickie tried again with her best friend, hoping it would be easier. But as she started to sing, she forgot the words and ran to her room in embarrassment. - It's no use, she thought, hugging her teddy bear tightly. Mickie's confidence was crumbling with each attempt.
Feeling defeated, Mickie decided to give up on her dream. - Maybe I'm just not brave enough, she sighed, looking out the window. Her heart ached, but she couldn't see a way forward. The thought of being on stage filled her with dread.
One day, Mickie met Mrs. Harmon, an old music teacher who lived nearby. - You have a gift, Mickie, Mrs. Harmon said kindly. She invited Mickie to her home, where they practiced together. With Mrs. Harmon's encouragement, Mickie slowly began to feel less afraid.
The day of the audition arrived, and Mickie felt nervous but determined. As she stepped on stage, she remembered Mrs. Harmon's words. Taking a deep breath, Mickie began to play and sing with all her heart. The audience erupted into applause, and Mickie realized she had conquered her fear.
