My Life’s
Story
Sophia Song
Many years before I succeeded in my
career, I was a regular child like everyone else. I had faults and
problems, but I learned to live with them. It took time, but I
managed. Here’s how I began…
On a breezy spring
night on May 4th, someone was born. Someone born to Alex
Song and Julie Chen. That was me, Sophia Song.
When I was in
kindergarten, I had not realized my talent in singing. However, I
did like to do it. In fact, at my preschool Academy of Christian
Education (ACE), my teacher often called me the teacher’s little
singer. Even at that time, I had a liking for performing. Unlike
many of my friends, I did not have stage fright. While they were
reluctant to stand on stage and show others their skill, I would be
simply delighted for a chance to show off my voice onstage – the
more the audience, the better. Little did I know, I was soon going
to have that chance.
One of my best
friends had a grandma who was a professional musician. She already
knew that I had a good voice. So in the middle of 5th
grade, she asked me if I would like to sing one of her songs at the
Library of Congress with my two best friends. By this time, I had
already recognized my musical talents and was taking professional
lessons once a week. That was a very good opportunity for me to
show my voice, so naturally, I accepted. After weeks of practice, I
was at the Library of Congress! I had a great deal of fun
performing there, and thought we all performed very well. This was
my first ticket to the life that I now lead.
In middle school, I
took my “career” a bit farther. For one thing, I started taking
professional singing lessons three times a week. For another, I won
several awards at school for karaoke singing. My voice was really
starting to stand out now. Yet, I did not know what it felt like to
be on a really proper stage, like the ones those popular
celebrities went on. I really wanted to go on a stage that was on a
TV channel. Well, my dream came true.
During my second
year of High school, I was actually invited to perform onstage on
TV. This was a huge milestone because I needed experience for
onstage performances in my later life. So that year in May, I saw
myself onstage on. I had practiced very hard, but I needed more
chances to get the hang of it. Perhaps it was the thrill of seeing
yourself onstage, but I did kind of freak out as I walked onto the
big stage with so many pairs of eyes on me. However, I think this
was part of my natural instinct, when I started singing,
I forgot my nervousness
and started enjoying myself. Although my friends and family patted
me on the back, congratulating me all the time, I wasn’t completely
satisfied with myself. I had much more to improve on. I hoped
fervently to have another chance to prove myself.
There was a
television show in China that allowed amateur performers to compete
with each other. There were several rounds, each followed by a vote
from the audience which eliminated the candidate with the least
votes. In every round, the performers left to compete would work
their magic and hope to pass the round. In the
end, only one player would be left and they would be awarded the
trophy and fame. Potential but unprofessional celebrities went from
unknown, to nationwide or maybe even worldwide famous celebrities.
A few of those times that the show was on TV, I was the person
awarded that pride. Now I was really rocking. Another improvement
was that I has opened my own studio and had begun writing and
recording my own songs. This turned out to be a very wise choice
because I was soon the girl known as a young celebrity who was only
in college.
As soon as I came
out of college, I was invited to sing at the annual Chinese new
year celebration show. This show invited only the nation’s top
artists, so I felt really honored. This performance was the most
spectacular of the year. I worked long and hard for this show,
because if I sang well this time, I would be asked to perform next
time. As a result, every year after this one, I was asked. I put in
great efforts for every single one. It seemed like nothing in my
career would go wrong.
When I was around
middle age, competition got even harder. Many other singers wanted
my spot too. I decided to do something extra to secure my place
under the spot light. That year in July, I decided to audition for
a TV show. It was my first time acting, but I got the job. It seems
that I had a knack for anything filmed or onstage to the public. My
plan worked perfectly. I still had a main career in singing, but I
also popped up a few times in television shows and
movies.
By now, everyone who
watched the news now knew me very well. I still had haters, like
all the famous people I had grown up admiring, but I always told
myself that I couldn’t be perfect and that I had tried my best.
Despite these reassurances however, I still worked very diligently.
My hard work had paid off well. From these events, I extracted the
key in life. Keep working to a steady goal. I know, at least, that
if I keep plunging on into the unknown future and keep trying, I
will eventually reach it; no matter how impossible that task once
seemed. In other words, nothing is impossible.
