Well, one person I really like to spend time with is Tom, who I met while learning the piano. He is a unique student who loves the piano very much, but unfortunately before his retirement, he was too busy to study and learn how to play the piano. So he looked so special in our piano class, that on the first day I entered the piano classroom, I noticed this elderly student. Now I usually practice piano with him during my holiday, and the main reason why I like to spend time with him is his encouragement and support, which make me confident this happened when I was a child. At that time, I was only 5 years old, even shorter than piano and needed a pillow over the chair, so I could reach the keyboard. Besides, my teachers were so strict that I was often scalded. One day I overheard my parents talking about talking with others, and like my dad said, she won’t stand it, I bet she will quit this week. But to my surprise, Tom aired and she is not an equator and she will keep on. And then he encouraged me not to be influenced by negative opinions and not to give up, and leave regrets for myself. He believed that I can overcome difficulties, so I was touched. And I kept going and successful past the piano proficiency exam, and became very confident, so I really like to spend time with him.
