Question

Read the introduction to Lena's personal narrative, "My First Solo."

The first time I
a solo, my stomach was in knots. I could barely breathe, and I wasn't sure a sound
would come out when I opened my mouth to sing. Despite my nerves, I was able to do it. My part certainly
wasn't perfect and may have been a little screechy, but I was proud of myself nonetheless.
