When I was in 6th grade I quit piano.  My mom really wanted me to continue, but I just wasn't interested anymore.  My sister kept going and moved on to other instruments and now makes a living playing in a Symphony and teaching privately....but I still get to play music, just not the way Mom imagined.  Had I been as good as this kid....maybe I would have showed up for practice a bit more.  Of course....if I had practiced more....maybe I would have been as good as this kid.
