Performing in front of a crowded audience can make anyone nervous. This is especially true if you’re a teenager when you’re most shy and feeling rather insecure about how others see you.
But if you manage to gather the courage to do just this, then it can be a most amazing, thrilling experience.
That’s exactly what happened to Brett Nichols when he decided to participate in his school’s talent show.
Pitman High School in Turlock, California, had a full house that day. Its gymnasium was full of anticipating students, and sure enough, with hundreds of eyes on him, Brett Nichol looked a little nervous as he took the stage.
But as soon as Brett warms up, everything changes. He quickly feels in his element and shows off his incredible skills in front of the whole school!
