Susan Boyle is 48 years old. She lives in Scotland. She isn’t a very pretty lady and she hasn’t been very lucky. She doesn’t have a job. She doesn’t have a boyfriend and she doesn’t have a husband. She doesn’t have any children and she lives with her cat. She is quite lonely but she is happy because she likes to help others. She helps people at her church every day.
A few months ago, she decided to do something fun. She entered a competition on television called “Britain’s Got Talent.” She did not do anything special to her hair and she didn’t put much make-up on. She wore a simple dress and slipped on an old pair of shoes. She didn’t care about how she looked. She just wanted to sing in front of an audience.
When she got on stage, the three judges were laughing at her. The audience members were also laughing at her. They could not imagine a middle-aged lady singing well. They were waiting for the chance to boo her off the stage. The judges were worried that Susan would embarrass herself in front of the audience and the thousands of people watching the show on TV. But when Susan sang, her voice was so beautiful and pure that the judges were in awe and the audience gave her a standing ovation.
The judges had to apologize after she sang because they didn’t think Susan could sing that beautifully. Someone put Susan's audition on YouTube and she has become an internet superstar. She hasn’t won the competition but she has won the hearts of millions.
Susan is a great example of how we should not judge people based on the way they look.
