Once I joined a singing contest. While waiting for my turn, I tried to calm my nerves by
doing mental sums. However, my heart still skipped a beat when I heard my name was called.
Biting my lip nervously, I stepped onto the stage carefully.
“God, please help me!” I prayed desperately.
Standing on the stage, I looked at the audience with mute horror. The music had started
playing but I could not utter a single word. An irrational fear overwhelmed me, causing my
heart beat so fast. I had never felt more nervous and embarrassed in my life before. I wished
the ground would open up and swallow me.
“Calm down! There’s nothing to be afraid of!” I frightened myself as beads of perspiration
trickled down my forehead.
I took a deep breath and asked the judges if I could start again. They agreed readily. The
familiar music played once more. Shutting my eyes, I blocked out all negative thoughts in my
mind and sang my heart out. To my surprise, the audience were so blown away that they gave
me a standing ovation. Happiness bubbled up inside me as I walked off the stage. Although I
could not see my own face, I knew I was glowing in delight.
In the end, I came in first for the contest. Winning was not that important to me as I was
just glad that I had stepped out of my comfort zone and the prize was definitely an added
bonus.

Martin Luther King, Jr. was a figure who led non-violent movements to end segregation in the
United States. He hoped that Americans could become a colour-blind society where race would
not impact a person's civil rights. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 for his
nonviolent resistance to racial discrimination in America.
He was born in Atlanta on January 15, 1929. He went to Booker T. Washington High School.
He was so smart that he skipped two grades in high school. He started his college education at
Morehouse College at the young age of fifteen. There, he got his degree in sociology. After that,
Martin got a degree from Crozer Seminary and then got his doctor's degree in theology from
Boston University.
He was a pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama. There, he
led blacks in the Montgomery bus boycott of 1955-1956, an action inspired by the arrest of Rosa
Parks when the black woman refused to give her seat to a white passenger on a public bus. The
boycott ended in success, and King had become a national figure. In 1963, King organized a
march on Washington, D.C. that drew 200,000 people demanding equal rights for African
American.
In 1968, King intended to revive his movement through an interracial “Poor People’s
March” on Washington. However, on April 4, he was assassinated in
