## Caption

After this classical competition, I quit piano. 

This happened during my final classical competition, my senior year of highschool. 

I got a terrible score and I was crushed. 

It just felt like whenever the “real me” came through, it ruined everything. 

It wasn’t until 2 years later that I came back to the piano with a whole new perspective…. 

Have you ever had an experience like this?
