When I started violin I felt special inside like no other. But then I had to quit because my mom didn't have enough money. I started to think of how great and happy I felt when I was playing it and how disturbed I felt when I wasn't. That is why people should play instruments becuase it gives them a peace of mind not because they want to become stars or whatever. I went through that though. I felt I was starting late and could never have a performing career, but of course, I found out I was wrong and I can have a performing career. But like I said thinking back to when I first started, 11 months ago, I know that whether playing the violin for fun or for a job, there's so much more to it.
