Because of Chance

Back in fifth grade was when students at BTGS got to choose either band, choir, or both. I choose band and then had the option of what instrument I would like to play. A demonstration was done using all the instruments we could play, and I liked the tuba. When it came time to choose our instrument, I wanted the tuba, but couldn't remember what it was called. Instead of asking what it was called, I guessed and called it a trombone. I was quite shy back then and instead of saying I made a mistake and named the wrong instrument, I went with trombone. At the present, I know I would have said I made a mistake as I am now more outward with what I think. Now, I love the trombone. My life has been greatly influenced by it. I have gone to band camp, been to Eastern Conference Montana Jazz Band, gotten the highest marks in music festival, and have become Vice President of the SGHS Band. Would I have done all these things if had played tuba? Maybe or maybe not, but as of right now, I am really happy with my mistake.
