Golden buzzer after 20 years

 


By: Hensie Tumbagahan

It took her 20 long years to find the courage and step onto the stage once again at America's Got Talent.
The reason :
She failed. When she was 11 years old, she didn't advance to the next round. She took the hit hard, constantly feeling restraint of other people's opinions about who she was. Yet, one thing remained true : she loved to sing.
She loves singing, indeed!



Failure is only proven when we stop claiming our dreams - when we let the words of the audience to take center stage rather than standing on it ourselves.
For Jessica Sanchez, it was clear : "I know who I am." Gosh, she possesses a powerful voice, and not just a singing voice; it's the voice of courage.
What are you going to do to make your younger self proud of your adult version?
Watch her performance here :

  Ni: Shaine Sorrosa Ibajay, Aklan- Isang karangalan ang naiuwi ni Zeus Zein-Gie J. Casimero, estudyante ng Jose Doromal Taekwondo Gym – Ibajay Branch, matapos siyang magwagi ng silver medal sa Taekwondo competition na ginanap ngayong Hulyo 19 sa Binarayan Sports Complex Gymnasium, San Jose, Antique. Lumaban si Zeus bilang bahagi ng mga kinatawan ng kanilang training center. Sa kabila ng pagiging bago sa larangan ng taekwondo, ipinamalas niya ang husay, disiplina, at determinasyon sa laban, dahilan upang makamit ang ikalawang puwesto sa kanyang kategorya.   Ayon sa kanyang mga magulang, hindi rito nagtatapos ang kanyang paglalakbay sa taekwondo. Plano nilang isali si Zeus sa Municipal Meet, at kung papalarin ay makararating din siya sa Provincial Meet. Patuloy nila itong susuportahan upang lalo pang mapaunlad ang kanyang talento at pagmamahal sa isport.   Ang Jose Doromal Taekwondo Gym – Ibajay Branch ay patuloy na sumusuporta at nagsasanay ng mga kabataang may interes sa...
