I've played a lot of sports and done many activities in my past. If I had to choose one that I found particularly difficult, it would probably be learning guitar. I started learning when I was ten years old at a nearby music school. This was back in 2014. I was a very small child, and it was quite difficult for me to hold the guitar. It was naturally challenging because the guitar was too heavy for me. Despite this, I started making good progress. I was keeping up with the lessons, and my fingers were very accurate when placing them on the strings. However, as I grew older, chords started to become more complex, and I found it very difficult to adjust my fingers to accommodate them. It was a real struggle, and it wasn't just me. It was difficult for all the other children in the class as well. I also wasn't a good singer, and as you progress, you need to sing along with the music you play. Singing wasn't my forte, so I decided to take a break from guitar lessons. That break turned into a long pause, and during that time, I realized that guitar wasn't meant for me. I decided to focus on my sports instead.
