I remember this one time, I was really proud of my dad when he played the guitar in front of all the students of my high school. Growing up, I had always heard my dad has talking about how great he was at playing the guitar. But to be honest. I wasn’t convinced at all. I mean, he is a business person, and I have never heard him playing at home or even practiced. So basically, the story was that I played the piano for my high school orchestra, and they were organizing an event called Parents’ Talents show. Because I was pretty good at playing the piano, so the school asked me if my parents had any musical talents. So I came home that day and asked my dad if he wanted to play in front of my school. And surprisingly he accepted it quite graciously.

In the beginning, I felt kind of nervous because what if he sucked, then everyone would laugh at me, because he is my dad. Then for the next couple of weeks, I expected he would at least practice but he didn’t. He still went on his day like usual. Then when that day came, he took his guitar and drove me to my school with my mom. On our way up there, I had butterflies in my stomach, but he didn’t seem to be nervous at all.Then finally the show started and he was the fifth person to go on, and when he played, I was shocked that how good he was. He played for about 3 minutes, and I actually forgot what he played, but all my friends were looking at me and their facial expression like “oh my god, is that your dad?” And at that moment, I couldn’t have felt more proud of my dad.
