I have always been the type of person who likes to hop from one hobby to another. There is probably not a single sport that I have not tried. I have a lot of first year medals from many different things, but it didn’t seem to matter how good I was at something, I never stuck with it for very long.

I have also played just about every single musical instrument known to man. If I had stuck it out on these, I could be my own band. I actually got pretty good at some of them, but like the sports, they eventually lost their appeal.

As an adult, I think that it was wrong of my parents to let me jump from one thing to another. It taught me little dedication and responsibility and left me being okay in many things but not great at anything. I decided, when I had kids, I would teach them differently.

When my daughter was six, she began taking piano lessons. A year later, she wanted to quit and I would not let her. She is now twelve and will eventually learn & master the piano course. She does very well and enjoys it a lot. She is much better at the piano than I have ever been in anything and I am very proud of not only her, but of myself for making her stick with it.
