Hi people on earth! I’m Grace Ann and you can call me @annie07🌷!! You can freely read my real-life story. Enjoy!
Being chosen as one of the judges in our school’s singing competition is a great honor and blessing for me. I feel incredibly grateful that my school community recognized my talent and gave me the opportunity to be part of something meaningful, not just as a performer, but as someone who can guide and uplift others. I have always loved singing, and though I am not a professional, it has become a huge part of my life.
I have competed many times in our school events and, by God’s grace, I have consistently won as Champion. I never use this to boast, but instead I take it as a responsibility to help others grow in their own talents. Standing in front of a room full of young and passionate performers, I felt a deep sense of respect for each of them. It’s not easy to sing in front of an audience, it takes courage, self-trust, and a willingness to be vulnerable. I saw those qualities in every contestant, and it made me feel proud to be part of their journey, even in a small way.
As a judge, my role was not just to evaluate, but to observe with understanding and encouragement. I was amazed by how talented the contestants were! I was like, “Wow! They’re so good!” Their voices carried such power, emotion, and soul. even if some of them were clearly nervous. But nervousness is normal; in fact, it’s part of the process. I’ve been there too, standing on stage with my heart racing, afraid to miss a note or disappoint the audience. That’s why I understood them deeply. I reminded them, through my comments and advice, that singing is not just about having a great voice, it’s about sharing a message, telling a story, and being authentic.
I felt proud to give back what I had learned through my own experiences. More than judging, I was mentoring. I wanted them to feel that they are not competing against each other but growing with each other. Through this opportunity, I have learned that sharing your talent is not just about showing how good you are. It’s about making others believe in how great they can become. This moment made me value not only music, but also connection, encouragement, and the courage it takes to shine.
Throughout the event, I realized that music is a powerful tool for building confidence and community. Many of these students have big voices, but even bigger dreams and I could see that in their eyes as they sang. They reminded me of my younger self, trying to find confidence while doing something I loved. I had the chance to share advice on stage presence, voice control, and song connection. But more than that, I reminded them that singing is more than just hitting the right notes, it’s about making people feel something. I saw how each performer gave a piece of their heart, and I admired that deeply.
It made me reflect on how music brings us all together—not just as performers or judges, but as people who understand emotion, struggle, and growth. This experience wasn’t just about ranking performances; it was about witnessing passion, helping others grow, and being a part of their musical journey. And for that, I am truly thankful.
To those who are reading this. Whether you’re a student, an aspiring singer, or someone who simply loves music, this is a reminder that your voice matters. You don’t have to be perfect to be heard. You don’t need to be a professional to inspire. Every time you use your voice to express yourself honestly, you are already making a difference. It’s okay to feel nervous, it’s okay to make mistakes, and it’s okay to grow slowly. What matters is that you don’t give up on what you love. If you have a passion for singing, let it shine! even if your voice shakes. Someone out there needs to hear what only you can sing.
Also, support one another. Just like I’ve seen during the competition, the most beautiful performances come from those who feel supported, seen, and encouraged. Be that kind of person for others. And if you ever get the opportunity to share what you know? take it. Teaching others doesn’t require you to be the best; it only requires you to care. Whether you are on stage or sitting in the audience, remember that your role is valuable. Keep singing, keep sharing, and most importantly, keep believing in yourself. Because in every voice, there is a story worth hearing. Maybe the next song that changes someone’s life… will come from you.
Again, I’m @annie07
