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.”

3 What does Candy have to say to all those young 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.”
