My dad really inspires me in many ways, and he has many sayings that motivate me, but one that I hear a lot is "Alex, go play your bassoon!" This probably sounds pretty dumb, but if he wasn't there to keep telling me to practice I wouldn't be any good, because I'm often too lazy to practice on my own.
This is pretty important for me because it doesn't only apply to me playing my bassoon, but also is sort of saying that if I don't work at anything or put any effort into anything, I'll never succeed at life. So I kind of think of "go play your bassoon" any time I don't feel studying or something.
Thats exactly what my mom tells me with violin!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on All State!
dont think im a nerd for saying that. the only reason im any good is because i practice. without my dad and mom i would be too lazy.
ReplyDeleteLUCKY!!!! i wish my mom would say "rachael, go practice your clarinet" but NOOOO, she doesnt, she just expects me to WANT to go practice. haha, practicing is'nt very fun, but it does pay off in the end so i guess that's why she doesnt tell me. Congrats on All State... lucky duck
