At 7edu's Back to School celebration on a sunny day in Cupertino, I, Henry Qiang, a junior at Lydian Academy, had a transformative experience. The event offered craft stations, face painting, and enchanting air balloon animals, all free and open to the community. But what made it unforgettable was my journey. Despite my fear of performing, I seized the opportunity to rap and sing my pop songs in front of a live audience. The crowd's cheers and support were like a warm embrace, and I realized that when we step out of our comfort zones, we can achieve remarkable things. The event was a celebration of personal growth, community, and the power of togetherness, leaving me with a sense of accomplishment and a newfound confidence in myself.
