Recently, I read a story named “Raise your voice.” The contents of the story really inspired me a lot. It was about a girl who struggled to live in a great sorrow and grief after the death of her brother. Following is the summary of the story.
Hilary was a girl who loved music very much. She wanted to study the music school in Los Angeles; however, her father did not allow her to study the school. Fortunately, her mother and her brother helped her to apply for the school. Therefore, she could have a happy life to study in the famous music school. Her brother was a composer, they often singing together in the weekends and they will record some tapes when they were singing. She really leads a happy life in the school. And she appreciated what her brother had done to her.
However, one day when they were talking and singing happily on their driveway, a truck hit them badly. Her brother died in the accident. Fortunately, Hilary narrowly escaped from the death. However, it was a torture that she was not dead. Her father could not forgive her. She could not forgive herself, either. She thought it was all her fault. She established her dreams by the sacrifice of her brother. She could not forgive herself. After she recovered from the accident, she still lived in a great grief and sorrow. She could not sing anymore. She kept crying and crying all day long. Her teacher was worried about that, because the singing competition was on the corner.
Then, her teacher gave Hilary a tape. She told her that this tape was recorded by her brother.
She opened the tap and watched it. Inside the tape, her brother recorded Hilary’s daily life, they singing together and dancing together and how great effort Hilary has done for the singing contest. Her brother wanted to let the judges know her sister was wonderful and would not give into anything block her dreams.
Hilary’s eyes filled of tears, and she finally knew that she should face the music and braced her heart to win the competition.
On the competition, she sang the song “Someone is watching over me.” Although her brother cannot hear it, she believed that her brother would watch and take care of her in the other side of the world.
This story really recalled me many events that happen in my life. When my grandpa was dead; I felt very sorrow and I could not help crying day after day. This situation was similar to this story. So, I want to share this story with someone who lives in sorrow and grief. And hope this story can inspire everyone around the world.
