I have many hobbies. The first one is playing the piano. I play on the piano and compose my own music. By the way the music you hear in the background is mine. In fact I have played more than three hundred songs.
This is the story of how I got my musical gift. I was about seven years old at the time. One night I was feeling rather lousy because my brother was getting millions of science awards and doing other spectacular things. I thought that I couldn't do those kinds of things too so I told my mom and dad that I only had half a brain. They thought that this was a serious problem as it was because self esteem is very important. So my parents prayed that night that I would have a gift that I could feel good about.
A couple days after this my dad decided to unearth an old keyboard that he was given by a friend, to let me play on it for some fun. At first I sounded rather bad, and was playing music that summoned the cats and dogs. Since I showed an interest in music my dad let me play on it and I got better and better. About a week later I had gotten a better keyboard and was playing rather nicely now. Then one night my God given gift showed its colors as I played an amazingly beautiful song. My whole family was aghast and amazed I was playing beautifully! I was by no means taught to play music like this for I have never had a music lesson in my life to this day! This gift was truly God given and now as you hear I can play even better and I continue to get better as God teaches me.
Just as a side note, we went to visit Banff national park in Alberta a couple years ago, and in this huge room in the Banff hotel there was a piano and I went and sat down at it and played my music. As I started everyone stopped what they were doing up on the decks above me and in the room I was playing in and listened. As I was playing I saw a waiter out of the corner of my eye and wondered why he was watching me. Little did I know that at least a hundred people had stopped all over to listen to me play. Just as I finished the song I heard this wave of applause and it was then that I realized I had attracted an audience. I soon became very shy and ran back to my parents for I was only about nine years old at the time. So as you see my gift is truly spectacular and I owe it all to God.
This is not my only hobby another one would be photography I enjoy taking pictures wherever I go and especially on holiday. Here are some of them just click on the link to my gallery below.
