Written By Pagnia Xiong

Pagnia Xiong shares a personal voice memo of reflection recorded the morning after her national anthem performance.

“This is something I want to remember forever...”
— Pagnia Xiong

"The morning after my national anthem performance, after my parents, who drove across the state border to see me sing, had left, I finally had a quiet moment to myself. With so much on my mind, I recorded this voice memo for memory's sake. This is something I want to remember forever, and I thought you might want to hear it too."
