When I was in high school, I participated in a talent show at a camp.

That must have been fun but nerve-wracking. What kind of talent did you perform? Singing, dancing, acting, or something else?

It was very nerve wracking. I actually played guitar with a small band, we performed a song from Switchfoot.

That sounds awesome. Was it just a performance or an actual contest?

It was more of just a performance. Everyone had an opportunity to showcase their talent. There was no winners.

That's cool. They are a good way to boost self-esteem and confidence

It was, being in front of a lot of people is a hard thing to get use to. Are you comfortable in front of a lot of people?

No, I have stage fright. But I think talent shows are good for communities as they can prevent juvenile delinquency among children and teens
