The Joys of Musical Performance
When I was Young, my mom encouraged me to start playing the piano,
I had no interest interest while I was so young. after seven years of playing. I started high school
And I decided to play the drums I thought it was cool to do so,
I started marching in the band. The first year I joined The band I started out playing the quads
After three years of this I started playing the snare drum and the drum line,
The first competition then placed first place
Throughout my years of practice and then decided to go to McDonald's to celebrate,
I jumped in the car of my best friend,
then proceeded to McDonald's to find this could just be the end.
As we turned in the McDonald's parking lot The car that I was in wasT-boned by another.
Since I was the passenger, I took most of the blow. This then put me in a coma,
After four weeks in a coma. I was then transferred to a rehabilitation hospital in Grand Rapids.
After three months of hard work I was able to walk out. No one could conceive what this was all about. Not many could believe that this is what happened to me.
I would not believe that I could do this. Now after 27 years I am still recovering. I was sure my talent for music was quickly gone. My ability to play the drums was not overcome.
I was so sad that I lost the rhythm. I would not let this stop me. I was determined to win. I decided to purchase an electronic drum set. I then found out that nothing was wrong.
I was so happy I did this. I could not believe though I could not play as I did, my rhythm was still in me. I was happy I did. Although it frustrated me at the time. I won't let it stop me. This freedom is mine.
It was so slow to play the drums. Since it had been so long I had just determined that it was gone. I thought I could never play again. Wow, what a victory. I will never let anything stop me.
