My hobby, my passion

For me, my passion is guitar. Usually, i will touch the guitar at least 5 times a day! My interest in guitar started when i was 12. Iwatched bands play the solos, and i started to pick it up myself. I searched through my storeroom and found a classical guitar. Igot so elated that i started jumping around the room. i remembered the first song i learnt was Happy Birthday to you. At that time, i was still an amateur with this new instrument, and that song to me was superbly difficult. Ipractised tirelessly trying to master the song. Even during study breaks, television advertisments, i took out the guitar and practised. Determination finally brought results. i was finally able to play the song Now, i have gone far beyond the classical guitar and my parents are now considering to buy me an electric guitar! to me, it is a dream come true. I hope this guitar i get will last me a long time. This guitar has even influenced me in my CCAs and many more things in terms of my attitude. I learnt that what ever i dream to do, it will come true.

Guitar

Visions of the wondrous electric guitar i was going to buy filled my sleepy mind causing me to stay awake. I managed to shut my mind off and fall deeply asleep. The night passed fitfully and i was glad when the next day arrived.

Refreshed by the thought of my guitar, i jumped out of bed and got ready to go to school. I ate a hasty breakfast and dashed to school . Minutes seemed to pass on so slowly that i pinched myself in frustration. At the last period, a countdown started in my head and this somehow made the suspense worse. Althought it kind of made my blood pressure rise drastically, up till today, i still do not know why it made my blood pressure rise.

The bell blasted through the entire school and that is always known as the start of confusion and chaos. I rushed out of the school barely able to get a grip of myself.

Home at last. i showered and rushed off with my dad to the guitar shop. Although my dad was a guitar fanatic, he has never had a personal guitar. Sometimes i really feel very fortunate to have so many things of my interest.

Unfortunately, things got bad as it started to pour and the visibility was affected when my dad was still driving. To make matters worse, we missed a turn and had to go the longer way but eventually we made it and now i have myelectric guitar in my hand. I hope this guitar will take me to an even greater heights in my guitar-playing skills!
