My Guitar

There is always one thing a person can truly count on in their life, and its usually different for everyone. My one thing is music, specifically my guitar. As a child my parents always made me sing in front of audiences but I never truly enjoyed it due to the fact I suffered from massive stage fright. For my 12^th birthday my dad got me the one thing that has got me through everything, my guitar. I never touched it until 4 years after receiving it. One night I was watching Coal Miner’s Daughter, the story of Loretta Lynn and had my dad teach me the three chords it took to play the main song, Coal Miners Daughter. From then on I was hooked and it got me through the rest of high school instilling a passion that no other feeling can bring forth from my soul. Fate played a big role in the discovery of my music. Mainly through my father being so passionate about his music and providing me with the knowledge and resources I needed. My freewill also played a part in my discovery. The fact that I chose not to pick the guitar up for four years after receiving it hindered me in my musical development, none the less it happened and taught me self discipline and how to truly feel passion for what you are good at.
