On October 6th, I hosted a charitable recital with the intention of raising funds for Lions Gate Hospital (LGH). I chose LGH as the beneficiary of my event because it is an integral part of my community, and I wanted to make a meaningful contribution to the well-being of my local area.

I have significantly enhanced my singing skills since passing the level eight test, having mastered a repertoire of songs suitable for my vocal range. In preparation for the exam, I committed to three lessons per week and dedicated two hours to practice each week.

Throughout the practice and recording process for the competition, I took on the responsibilities of distributing lyrics and providing vocal technique instruction to the participants. We dedicated a month of weekday rehearsals in preparation for the competition, and I also invested an additional two hours each day in preparation work.

When I was only 13 and 14 years old, I had the honor of being invited twice as the special guest for the Lunar New Year celebration at the Vancouver Canucks. During these occasions, I had the honor of performing both "The Star-Spangled Banner" and "O Canada" and became the youngest national anthem singer in the history of the Vancouver Canucks.

I dedicated three months to preparing for the competition. In addition to having voice lessons with my coach twice a week, I diligently practiced for one to two hours daily to ensure my readiness. Given my young age at the time, I also had a weekly practice session with my piano accompanist to guarantee rhythmic precision during the performance.

I dedicated two months to preparing for the audition and performance. Following the video submission, I received notification of the results, and I had the honor of becoming the program's very first performer at Universal Studio.
