"Hello judges!" I greet the three behind the table.

As I make my way to the center spot, I thought about my life before today. I could hear my own voice narrating my thoughts.

"Science is awesome!" I say in a voice that was half dramatic and half playful.

If music doesn't work out, I want to be like the next Bill Nye. Science is my favorite subject to study. I do hope music does work out though.

I came back go reality and found myself standing on the American Idol logo in front of the judges.

"What are you going to sing?"

"Sing, actually," I replied giving a little giggle.

Melvin, my guitar, was slung around my shoulder yearning to be played during the song. He was cover with duck tape and worn spots from years of playing. I had been playing Melvin longer than I could remember.

I started to strum and sing. When I got to the falsetto of the chorus, I really got into the song.

When I finished, the judges gave me their critiques and a golden ticket. I was going to get another chance to perform. Melvin was going to get some more playing time soon. Hollywood Week was what I had to prepare for next.
