Let me start off by saying a little...memory that I had and have always kept even until now. When I was two I had a brother that passed away at two months. His name was Ryland and he was the second sibling of the kids. my mom was very devastated and I had witnessed it and it's basically stayed with me my entire life. Now, I had show on Thursday and I played a song composed by Chopin. The song was called Chanson De L'adieu. For my eighth grade graduation, I played the song also but, because I was so nervous, I ruined the song and never got to finish it until my Talent show that happened on Thursday. A few days before my eighth grade graduation, I made a promise to my brother that I would play a song for him. Though, I never know what the song meant in English. A day before my graduation, I had a french dictionary and found that the song title meant The Song Of Farewell. Because I screwed up in my graduation, I felt that I'd failed him and thought that I would never play the song again for him in public. All my life, I had a very bad case of stage freight and I decided that for the talent show, I needed to toughen up, though I felt that I could never do it. Now, call me crazy, but, after I played that song, I felt as if I wasn't so afraid of public anymore. As if he'd taken my stage freight, and allowed me to be in front of the world. I felt that I completed my promise and he was proud.
