A
drum
I joined a band (as a drummer in my middle school.I thought it would be fun playing the drum and
meeting new friends.At first it was easy,but a month later,it got difficult.I was the only one who couldn't keep
pace(节奏)with the other players.
Our teacher.Angie.singled me out to keep practicing while everyone else got to relax.I felt ashamed
as my teammates watched me fail so many times.Finally I got so tired of practicing that I didn't care about
doing it right.
“Are you giving up on me..Steve?”Angie asked.
"Yes,I am,"I shouted.Angie sent me inside the music room where I cried out.Then she came in and said.
"Don't be sad.I believe you can make it!"She told me never to give up.She left me alone and I realized Angie was
right-by giving up.I was also giving up on the team and myself.
With her comfort,I decided to go on practicing.However,I still couldn't play well.Knowing my difficulties,
my teammates gave me a hand.They spent about three more hours practicing with me every week.Thanks to their
support and help,I began to keep pace with them.Later,we performed wonderfully in an important show.
In the whole process,I was taught that although we each had our own job to do in a show,it would take all of
us working together to make the show great.I felt accepted and made great progress.I love everyone in the band.I
can't imagine what my school life would be like without them
