Emily White came to the world 17 years ago, with so many birth problems in her body. Some of her organs, bones and muscles were out of shape. No one expected her to survive long. She did make it but with her strange body figure, everyone could recognize her, even from a distance.
In her hometown, a yearly outdoor performance was held in the school auditorium(礼堂). It had been performed for so many years and actually had become one of the most important events of the Christmas season for many of the town’s people.
Many people tried out each year for it, but so many were turned away. It can only include the most excellent people in the field.
Emily had a beautiful singing voice. Last year she went to Mrs. Owens—her music teacher to ask to join in the performance. Without letting her sing, Mrs. Owens took a glance at Emily’s body and said, “Child, you are just not suitable. Everyone would stare at you and that would make you uncomfortable. It would make them uncomfortable, too.”
Without singing a single note, Emily was sent back through the door of the choral room. Hurt and upset, she decided never to try out again. But Mrs Owens then retired.
This year, there came a new music teacher, Mr Butler. He heard about Emily and suggested that she have a try.
Emily didn’t want to be rejected again, so she hesitated about it. As Emily struggled, the door was pushed open and Mr Butler called, “Emily, you’re next.”Kind of nervous as she was, Emily did as Mr Butler told her to. Mr Butler sat by the piano to accompany Emily on the piano. When Emily finished her testing performance, she thanked Mr Butler and knew the result would be posted on the door of the choral room the next day.
Emily couldn’t sleep that night. She tossed and turned in bed one thousand times. She was suffering from the feelings that she didn’t fit and the great need to be accepted. By the next morning, her stomach was even in pain due to stress.

Emily hurried to the choral room and anxiously glanced at the list on the door. The fear of being rejected came to strike again. “Jeff Green, Rose Black...” she murmured as her eyes moved upward. “Wow!” Emily abruptly covered her wide-opened mouth, feeling as if her heart would jump out. There, her name was posted at the top of the list. The leading singer! However, whispers around her pulled her back to earth. Just then, she felt a pat on the shoulder. It was Mr Butler. “We selected you for our faith in your abilities and voice.” Inspired, Emily practised even harder for the day of performance.
Finally the day of performance came. Emily’s eyes danced with excitement as she stepped onto the stage. Standing still, she heard noises among the crowd. Obviously not cheers! Emily felt nervous again and even her legs began trembling. At that moment, her eyes parked on Mr Butler at the corner. He nodded and exchanged a determined glance with her, which timely put her heart back in place. With the music rising, Emily began her singing. Her sweet voice poured and the audience fell into an abrupt silence. When she finished, the auditorium erupted into a sea of cheers. Emily White in tears, with so many birth problems in her body, became the shiniest star!
