Our performance was magical. We danced to the most amazing song, and it became an instant hit. The place was wild, girls were clapping and cheering and screaming. “Encore! Encore! Encore!” They demanded an encore and half the school was singing the song with us the second time round. My principal, a no-nonsense, firm woman who valued academics above all, told our teacher not to come into class the next period. Instead, she walked in and spent almost the entire period talking about all the lessons my class could learn from our performance. How to take an ordinary, run of the mill performance and make it extraordinary. How to be unafraid to trail-blaze new territories and discover new talents. How to be fearless, creative women.
