It is still possible for a virtual unknown to get a chance to experience the limelight. Such things can happen when a video goes viral. A recent example of this involves a store cashier named Kayla Slone, a 21-year-old box store employee in Logan, West Virginia who overwhelmed people as she was singing one day at her register.

It was a day like so many others when Slone was busy at her job. She started singing a well-known country song at the checkout line. A customer was impressed with her singing and pulled out their phone and made a video of Slone's impromptu performance that was published online. The video showed Slone's beautiful voice as she sang a rendition of the song Coat of Many Colors, a 1971 classic by Dolly Parton.

When the video was uploaded to the internet, it instantly went viral and ABC News came to her town to meet her. During their interview, Slone told the story of how she was surprised about what happened. She never imagined her performance would turn into such a popular video and shared with the reporter her heartfelt dream of someday singing at the Grand Ole Opry.

Her dream made its way to the ears of Pete Fisher, the Grand Ole Opry's General Manager and Vice President. He told ABC News that country music is best when it involves real people singing about real stories that may involve everyone's life experiences. The Grand Ole Opry was happy to provide such a person as Slone with an opportunity to perform.

She was able to sing Coal Miner's Daughter at the Grand Ole Opry as hundreds of people watched. Before she went on stage, Slone was shocked when country music legend Loretta Lynn called her and wished her luck. A short time later, a cashier from West Virginia, was singing Lynn's iconic song and experiencing her dream becoming reality.

This is a special story about a girl who had her dream come true in a very unexpected way. It is something worth discussing. Have others read this inspiring story so you can talk about it.
