One day in music class, our teacher, Ms Atkins, said, “Folks, we decided to start a band here at school. We have many students who play an instrument. And most are good enough to perform. The only thing we’re missing is a singer.” Everyone looked at each other. When Ms Atkins said, “Come on, guys. I’m sure some of you can sing. We can’t have a band without a singer,” I reluctantly raised my hand. I sang a song which everyone loved, and that’s how I became the singer of the school band to a round of applause.
