My history with music was not good. I still remembered when I took my short-lived piano lessons, my grandfather said 1 to my grandmother, "Why didn't he make any progress with much practice?" I2 to make my piano performance attractive. However, my efforts were3 .
So I gave up playing any musical instrument until my old friend Leroy 4 me to play the violin with him when I was 57. It made me enjoy the joy of playing music again. On day, Leroy sent a text5 me that there was a music performance and he wanted me to join him. Thinking of my past, I 6 his invitation. I expected to hear his words that I would become7 with practice on stage. But he said, "OK, only play if you want to." I was totally8 by the unexpected answer and made no reply except to tell him goodbye.
No one was9 me to participate, but I faced a special 10 . Should I play on stage or just watch a movie? I had chosen the "movie route" too many times and this time I was11 to grasp the opportunity. After a long and careful12 , I played my violin with Leroy.13 I didn't lose all my nervousness, it was enough for me to overcome my fear. Finally, I14 a full performance in front of the audience.
A short time later, my friend Leroy passed away, but his 15 stayed. It helped me not only in music, but in all aspects of life. When I focused on what I wanted to do, fear will be replaced with joy.
