1 For this month's Young World magazine, I interviewed 19-year-old Asian pop star
Candy Wang. Candy told me that she used to be really shy and took up singing to
deal with her shyness. As she got better, she dared to sing in front of her class, and
then for the whole school. Now she's not shy anymore and loves singing in front of
crowds.

2 I asked Candy how life was different after she became famous. She explained
that there are many good things, like being able to travel and meet new people
all the time. "I didn't use to be popular in school, but now I get tons of attention
everywhere I go." However, too much attention can also be a bad thing. "I
always have to worry about how I appear to others, and I have to be very
careful about what I say or do. And I don't have much private time anymore.
Hanging out with friends is almost impossible for me now because there are
always guards around me."

people who want to become famous "Well," she
begins slowly, "you have to be prepared to give
up your normal life. You can never imagine how
difficult the road to success is. Many times I thought about giving up, but I
fought on. You really require a lot of talent and hard work to succeed. Only
a very small number of people make it to the top."
