I was about to go to an after school club, when suddenly I remembered that my music teacher said I could come to earn my "Rainbow Belt" for the recorder. No one else in my grade had it yet. No one was even close, except for my best friend. He didn 't know what I was about to do. I ran down the hallway with my recorder. Looking back, I 'm not sure whether it was the need to be the first, or that I loved playing my recorder. It was probably both.
