Quickwrite -- A Choice that Marked a Turning Point in My Life

I remember that 2 years ago, my mom suddenly told me that there is a new musical instrument store starting to operate in our neighborhood, and there were also teachers in the musical instrument store teaching you how to play the instrument like electric guitar, acoustic guitar, electric bass, drums etc. At that time, I wasn't interested in "playing music", so I refused to go there at first. However, my mom said that since I like listening hard rock and metal music, why not go learn how to play hard rock and metal music? Thus, I was forced to go to learn how to play electric guitar.
At first, I didn't pay a lot of attention listening to what teacher taught and didn't practice a lot. However, after 2 months, I was falling in love with playing electric guitar since I can play a complete song by electric guitar! And during the next few weeks, I was invited to join the band my friend grouped and became the lead guitarist although I was not really good at playing guitar at that time. When I was 13 years old, which when I was in 8th grade, my skill of playing electric guitar became better and better, and I started to be interested in playing music. Then, after a few weeks, I remembered it's on the December in 2010, I grouped my own band with my one classmate and an old friend. However, at first, my band wasn't really good and hardly any practices. At the end of 2011, my band had found a lead guitarist (not me) and a bass player, so at that time, there are 5 members in our band. Well, at the beginning of this year, our vocal, who's my old friend had left because of his self-centeredness and bad skill of singing. In this February, actually 2 days ago, my band found a drummer, and we were going to sign up for the band competition on April and July. I and my band mates are really enjoying playing music and banding.
If that time, my mom didn't force me to go to learn the guitar, I'm afraid that I won't be such interested in music, almost like putting the most afford into it. If I really didn't go learn it, I think I will just be like a nerd, staying in front of the computer and keeping playing online game -- before I played guitar, I was addicted to the online game, however, I am not interested in it anymore. -- I thank my mom for forcing me to go learn playing guitar at that time, and I also enjoy playing music right now.
