When
Angel Sing
Summary
The Story of Chiken Soup For The Soul Christmas
Magic with the tittle When Angel Sing
tells about a mother who has three daughters that want to perfom in chirstmas
program.
Her oldest daughter already move away from home, so she only has three daughters
at home,there are the second daughter Monica, her middle daughter’s best friend
Corina and her youngest daughter Charlotte. Her youngest daughter tells her
that she would sing ‘Silent Night’ in chrismast program with solo. The Mother
is so puzzled to hear that, because even she knows that her youngest
daughter loved to sing so much but she
also knows that her youngest daughter has been partially tone deaf since she
first opened her mouth. The mother fully expected that her youngest daughter
musical ear can reach a level very close to normal as her youngest grew older,
but she didn’t think that her youngest daughter would improve enough yet to
sing a solo. Finally she got that Monica and Corina also took part in a
christmas program on the same night as Charlotte. Corina sang a solo well and
Monica played the piano. In the beginning, the mother got confused that how she
was to be in two places at one time, but finally she found that the older girls
would be performing an hour later than the younger, so she can try for both.
But something happened, that is when her youngest daughter stood facing her in
the auditorium five minutes after she has dropped her backstage. Her youngest
little eyes glisten with unshed tears and the mouth quiver so violently
Charlotte couldn’t speak. And than, after the mother asked her youngest
daughter what was happening, finally the mother got the answer from Charlotte’s
teacher that Charlotte isn’t pick to sing with the choir for christmas program
and the teacher so confused because she did’t know somehow Charlotte get the
idea for her self to sing a solo. The teacher was afraid there is no part cast
for Charlotte, she said that she felt just terrible about that. After hear
that, the mother get angry but she think that she must concern for her daughter
wound heart before she get done with the teacher. Even something happen like
that, Charlotte still want to see her sister and Corina perfom. Monica and
Corina also invite Charlotte to see them from the backstage and see their
friends. After the second act, from the out side of all peoples mind especially
the mother, Corina perfom together with Charlotte. Charlotte softly sang ”Silent
Night” and Corina’s smooth soprano join Charlotte in just enough volume to
cover any mistakes. The combination is ethereal, both sing to a captivat
audience. At that time the mother realize there is more to that Chirst-fill
moment than we see being perform. Over all the chirtmas is complete and the
mother already witness the miracle when angels singing.
Reflection
I like this story so much. The story is so simple but
contains a deep sense. We can learn about differences. If we believe, work hard, and never give up.
Charlotte believes that she can do a solo in her school
Christmas program with ‘Silent Night’. She does a hard work with sing in every
time and every where that she want, she doesn’t know that long by long time it
make her voice be better than before. She never give up about that, although
her teacher said that she didn’t get part for sing with choir especially with
solo, that will be more impossibble. But even she is sad about it, she never
gives up and makes sure that she can sing well with the bravery to do a perfomance
with Corina on the stage in front of all of audience especially her mom, and
like what she believes she can do it.
Also with her mother. Even in begining she can’t believe
that her daughter can sing solo, but she
tries to believe and she always supports her daughter that her daughter can
sing well better than before and finally her daughter can do it well.
And one more thing again, we learn about love. Monica and
Corina love Charlotte and they want Charlotte
perfom with them, and finally Charlotte can perfom and sing ‘Silent
Night’ well with help from Corina. The word that I like from this story is there was more to this Christ-filled moment
than we saw being performed. I can’t explain about the word deeper, but I
think the word have a deepest sense.
Something that I don’t like from this story is the teacher.
Even she knows that Charlotte can’t sing well, she shouldn’t make Charlotte feel
down, but she must support her student, make sure that her student can do it
well and give a some way for her student to do something that become their
dreams for a long time. For that she must always stay close and teach her
student, so the student can do the best.
In the daily life,
we usually see something like this story. Where some persons who have a
deficiency become unable to do anything they want. Many people who don’t
believe in their ability, belittle, so that people feel inferior and unable to
do anything. Like an athlete who wants to be a runner, because it has a lame
leg, he can not be run in accordance with her wishes. But when he wants to try and
a lot of people nearby who support
him, eventually he could still be an athlete, although it uses a wheelchair and
doesn’t use his own feet. Many teachers who sometimes don’t believe in the
ability of students, so they weren’t offered an opportunity for students to
try, but if the parents of these students continue to provide positive support
and believe that their children can, the child can do it.
If I become a teacher, I want to be a nice teacher so that I
can learn, teach, support, and motivate my student. So, they always try to
never give up even they do something hard or easy. I want to encourage my
students to believe in themselves to not only get a way from something or
someone, but they can make a way by themselves. I want to teach them to be a
person that can learn every where and every time that they want and they can,
and don’t think low about something, but they must to try their best, so they
can do something better until the best and always happy and thanks to God for
it.
