Remember that song - part 11

During my time working as a teachers aide at Tenison Woods College in Mt Gambier I met some amazing kids. Some struggling because they had a terribly rough upbringing, some incredible kids that had autism, downsyndrome and other disabilities and some that just had amazing talents.

On one of my first days working there, one of the classes had a sort of special production day where they could show what talents they had. In this class were 2 girls that had just amazing talents, one of them was a dancer and did a 4 minute personally choreographed dance that was outstanding,  flying across the stage in such an effortless way. The other girl was a singer with an incredible voice for her age (probably 14 or 15). She actually sung a song in front of the whole school at the end of the year to farewell the leaving principle and left everyone feeling stunned and quite emotional.

The song in question was 'Angel' by Sarah Macachlan. Beautiful song and to be honest I think that 14 year old might have done a  better job. I guess Sarah's is ok too.
