The Change
In this essay I am supposed to discuss a project or activity that best represents me. I thought about this for a while, and I decided I would talk about my piano lessons. My parents didn't make me take them, and I didn't take them because it was "just something to do." There is a lot behind the story. About a year and a half ago, I suffered an injury that put me out of basketball for 6 months. To me, it was the end of the world. Basketball was supposed to be my future. It was what I thought I was going to do. It was my life. Everything I did centered around it, and I wanted to be the best at it. I was on top of my game, and the next minute I was watching everyone else play from the bench. I would get angry and frustrated, and wonder why it happened to me.

I believe I like piano so much, because I knew it was what I wanted to do. I would have never got the chance to play piano if I hadn't had that injury. I loved to sing, and I loved music.

I was irritated at how inefficiently I was playing. People change, and circumstances are always changing. You're the one who will live with it. Most everyone was devastated, but I think it was the right choice.
