Music.

Music has been a part of my life ever since I was a kid. I would always hear mom singing or play guitar or dad teaching my brother or sister how to play guitar. I never thought I would be doing something connected to music except for just listening to it but I guess that was wrong.

When I was a bit younger, I used to watch Disney movies a lot. I always listen to the songs the characters sing and try to sing along. It was really fun. Singing random songs would be like a bonding time in my family. I would random symphonies I hear on TV. In my opinion, that was better than watching the show. I was really interested in music.

I grew up in the shadow of my siblings. My sister's a really great singer, and my brother's a great guitar player. I wanted to be better than they were, but because of the pressure I never dared to be better than them. Then I realized I can take another route in music: playing piano. I really fancied playing keyboards/piano even if I only knew how to play a little bit. Even though I only knew how to play chords, I was satisfied at the fact that I was better than my siblings at something.

When we got to Canada about a year ago, I stopped playing piano because I didn't have a piano teacher anymore. So I went on a performing-with-instruments hiatus and just admired my siblings with their abilities again. Until one Saturday, my mother didn't have a drummer for her worship team on a Sunday. Shd volunteered me to play, even though I only knew a little in playing drums. That Sunday, I actually had fun playing even though I didn't know how to play drums. Another cool thing happened that day; a drummer from church offered to teach me how to play drums for free.

I'm still learning how to play musical instruments. But I think I have achieved much even though I'm not so good at them.
