It’s amazing to watch youngsters perform in school talent shows, whether they’re acting, singing, dancing, or showcasing another talent. While it’s true that all contestants should be commended for taking the stage and giving it their all in front of their peers, every now and then you’ll see a performance that truly hits the mark, showcasing inventiveness that beyond the competitors’ age range.
This was the performance that four Texas fifth graders from New Braunfels Christian Academy put on for the Elementary Talent Show in 2017. The students covered themselves with a black cloth at the beginning of their performance in order to keep it secret all the way through. The fabric was torn away, revealing the boys’ baby clothes, replete with little prosthetic legs they could move about with their arms. The audience immediately exploded into laughter, and that was only the start.
The audience was even more delighted with what came next: the boys donned their suits and danced brilliantly and imaginatively to a number of hit songs. The opening song, Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off,” had the males dancing and miming with enthusiasm. The crowd’s favorite was Carl Douglas’s “Kung Fu Fighting,” when the four dancers in suits displayed their kung fu skills to cheers and applause.
Full story here – This proves that solidarity among women is a powerful force
One day at the mall, my ordinary shopping trip took an unexpected turn when a mysterious girI approached me out of the blue. She claimed not to have seen me in ages, hugged me, and whispered a warning about two guys discreetly following me.
This revelation sent shivers down my spine, and the bustling mall suddenly felt like the backdrop to a suspensefuI movie.
As we maneuvered through stores, making impromptu turns to lose our pursuers, I couldn’t help but marvel at the stranger’s quick thinking and courage. She introduced herseIf as Lily, a fellow mall-goer who had inadvertently overheard the two men’s conversation, revealing cryptic phrases like “the package” and “the target.”
The situation felt like a puzzle with missing pieces, and Lily and I became an unlikely duo navigating through the crowd, trying to piece it together.
Ultimately, we sought refuge with mall security, who swiftly took charge and monitored the situation. This unexpected alliance with Lily and the subsequent invoIvement of law enforcement reinforced the idea that solidarity among women is a powerful force. In the end, the mall returned to its usual rhythm, but the memory of that day lingered, a testament to the unpredictable nature of life and the strength found in unexpected conne ctions.
