Singing

(Surrey, Canada)

I love singing! Hello, My name is Amanda and I am also 11 years old. Just like Shelby I have entered many singing contests but i never seem to win.

My friends say that I sing just like the pros and that one day I will become a singer but I want that one day to be now!

But thats not my problem. so you see I have these really big front teeth and they kind of stick out well a lot! Kids used to call me buck tooth at school.

One day I tried out for a singing audition and it was for acting and singing so I tried for both but they said I didn't make it just because of my teeth.

My feelings were really hurt for 2 weeks I felt like giving up on my dream of becoming a singer and I couldn't believe it because singing is my life. I have wanted to become a singer ever since I was 6.

I was really furious that I didn't make it just because of my teeth and they said it right to my face. I cried for like 2 hours because I am really sensitive and I thought that a singing audition is for singing not looking the best.

If I wanted to hear that comment I would try out for modeling. I don't and I will never understand show business. I am so mad at my teeth right now.
