  Angela Chang(张韶涵)didn’t know it would be so hard to turn singing into a career(失业).She went to many different record companies.But she was always turned down for looking too young and small.

  “I’d never had such difficulties before,”Chang said.But Chang’s talent was finally accepted in 2002.When she got a piece of work, she cried.

  She soon became a star.Her first album Over the Rainbow sold very well.She won many awards.

  “You wouldn’t believe such a beautiful voice could come from such a small body,”said one musician after hearing Chang sing.“She has a special voice.You can’t forget it.”

  But the 25-year-old girl has other talents too.Chang is also an actress.She has played a role in the popular TV plays, My MVP Valentine and At Dolphin Bay.Many people remember her common-girl parts in the plays.But acting is difficult.Chang once acted so badly that she was nearly fired(解雇).Another time it took her 27 tries to get a scene(一场戏)right.

  “I cried when I got back home,”Chang said.“But I knew that I wouldn’t always fail.You only fail when you give up.”

  Now with four albums behind her-Over the Rainbow, Aurora, Pandora and Flower in the Wonderland, it’s clear that Chang and music were made for each other.As she sings in one song,“I have a pair of invisible wings(隐形的翅膀).They fly me to the skies and give me hope.”

It’s not easy to be an astronaut’s son.Everybody expects you to be special or perfect. I often wonder how my father ever had a son like me. I mean he’s so special and so good at everything he does. Even in middle school he was class president and captain of the football team.

Well,to be honest,I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something special—like saving a child from a burning building or discovering a new star. I was daydreaming at school one morning when my teacher said there would be a Father’s Day writing competition for the whole schoo1. “I hope we have a winner right here in my class.”

When I got home,I started to think about what to write. My father is an astronaut. No, I wouldn’t start like that.That was the way others saw him.How did I see my father? Hmm.

I saw him sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream.I remembered how he hugged me for hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car.Yes,these were the things I was going to write.To me,he wasn’t just a world—famous astronaut.He was my dad.

My parents and I went to school on Thursday night. There were so many people in the big hall! My dad looked at me, and I shrugged(耸肩).

The third prize was announced and it was not me. I was relieved(释然)and disappointed at the same time. The second prize was announced. It was me.

I went up to the stage and read what I had written,“My father’s son”. When I finished, the people stood up and cheered. I saw my father blowing his nose. Tears were running down my mother's face.  Dad cleared his throat and put his hand on my shoulder. “Son, this is the proudest moment of my life.’’

    It was the proudest moment of my life, too. Maybe I’ll never be a great hero or win a Nobel Prize, but it was enough just to be my father’s son.
