Why be a prodigy

            The daughter was trying to make her mother happy, to for fill her mothers dreams for her. Her mother wanted her to find some kind of talent that would be special or that she'll be good at, so that she can show off her daughter's skills. Jing-mei being a young girl wanted to obey the rules and do what ever her mother says so she tries almost every talent possible.  When i was younger my parent also tried to let me learn some talents such as playing the violin. They wanted me to be like other kid who were friends of my parents. At first  I really enjoyed it, that was when i was really young though. Once I got an older age I started to dislike sitting there listening to the teacher and practicing everyday. Once i even mashed my violin with a hammer, but that was after i quit my lessons. I guess if I could go back I would continue to play and maybe some day get a award. Now a days my parents don't push me to learn new skills but just to focus on my academics, but i still try new things from time to time on my own command.
