Believe in Yourself
badannble By Patricia Ina Therese D. Obrero
It was Friday night. Teachers, students, and parents gathered at the school
auditorium for the Annual Talent Show. Toni stood in front of the crowd blushing and
shaking his hands. He felt his sweat running down his whole body. He looked out and
saw the room full of faces. Some he knew and some he did not. He took a deep breath
and tried to open his mouth. No words came out. Tears formed in the corners of his
eyes as he closed them.
With his eyes closed, he remembered his mother helping him get ready for the
night's show. "Believe in yourself." his mother said. He opened his eyes and found his
mother's smiling face in the crowd. He took another deep breath and started singing.
The crowd listened and was on their feet applauding. This made him so happy.
After the show, his parents, and friends congratulated him. They were proud
because he kept going even when it seemed like he might give up. He smiled as he
shared to his mother, "I just believed in myself."​
