Personal Narrative: First Piano Recital
I walked in the big room of the church where I was going to perform. Wow! I thought, I never knew that there would be so many people! This made me even more nervous and anxious than before.”Don’t be so nervous, believe in yourself,” my dad said, “it’ll be ok’’. How can I not be super scared , I thought, there were so many people watching me. I hope it would turn out good at the end and I would feel a lot more calm. It felt like I was on the Titanic and hitting an iceberg. The crowd of people included really experienced people to people like me who had very musical little experience.

What! I only have two short weeks to participate for a piano recital. I have not even learned a single song yet, I thought.
I practiced and practiced and practiced the same songs…...until the keys got so tired they started to play their own song and dance around the piano. Finally, I felt like I had practiced enough for the recital, but still was very nervous.

Even though at first I thought I wasn’t going to do good, I still was really proud of myself for trying and getting lots of applause! I sat down with a bigger smile than before. Each time a student would perform, I remembered the moment I was up there. I thought about how I had put so much pressure on myself. That is why I thought I would not do well during the performance.
