When I was 10, I was always joked by my buddy Co-Curricular Activities (CCA) mates, including John. Words were like, “Dick is the best player in the CCA! He only knows how to play ‘Mary had a Little Lamb’ on the trumpet (小号)!”
Once the moment I left the school, I took out my earpiece, listening to recordings like a broken recorder. I got so concentrated (专注的) that I didn’t see the wall in front and fell on the ground. Luckily for me, a passer-by saw what had happened and immediately called the 120. When I woke up in the hospital, however, the nurse told me that I suffered serious leg injuries. I could have stopped practicing but that was not what I wanted. I wanted to practice even in the hospital. “One leg injury would not stop me; it would only make me feel more motivated,” I replied to the nurse.
That was a hard period of my life. If I had not been careless, I would not have this problem. Yet if haven’t gotten myself into this problem, I would not be as motivated and would not have that experience teaching me a life lesson. My parents and my best friend had come to give me emotional support, telling me what had happened during CCA today and advising me on how to become a better player. After day-and-night hard practice, I finally perfected and went back to my CCA.
On the selection day, the conductor (指挥) praised me and asked how I had improved so much. I explained that it was because of my determination, my family and my friends. The conductor then said that I was a role model and that the whole band should follow my motivation and practice instead of being like John.
This experience made me what I am today. Recently, I am the best player and the head of the secondary school military band.
