Class assignment

 A time I was in conflict with a parent was a couple years ago because of piano. I sort of talked about it before, but specifically my parents would make me do concerts, which I didn't like much since I also had to sing while playing. I know they were trying to give me advantages and stuff, but it honestly made my self esteem go down and every time I see those videos I just feel bad about it. I learned that I just don't feel comfortable with that kind of thing. I eventually talked to my parents, sitting them down and telling them how I feel, which for the most part worked. My father is less involved in that stuff now because I don't let him, as he gets too intense and I don't perform well like that. I learned also that I do better if I enjoy what i'm playing, and if my parents give me just a bit of space, I find myself actually getting up and practicing by myself. They do still make me do concerts to raise money because it's a good deed, but I no longer have to sing, which was the compromise.
