Learning Guitar On My Own

As long as I can remember I've always watched my dad play his guitar. My dad's been playing guitar since he was fifteen and used to play for me and my sister all the time when we were little. I got my first guitar when I was seven years old. My dad and my brother bought me a little acoustic guitar and started to teach me. I started to learn the chords and my brother taught me my very first song.

I slowly started to get uninteested with my guitar playing, my dad or my brother never had time to teach me so I quit playing. Then, when I was about fourteen I'd always watch my friend Max play guitar and I started to gain interest again. My friend Max showed me a new way to learn guitar by using Tabs online which is like sheet music for guitar. I could still remember the song I learned at seven and I also learned my first song after quitting, it was "Come As You Are" by Nirvana. I got better and better each day and finally, when my friend Matt went to college, he gave me his old guitar and I've been playing everyday since.

Baseball

My favorite sport to play has to be Baseball. I started playing Baseball in my backyard with my dad when I was only six years old. Then, when I turned Ten and moved back to Virginia my dad signed me up for little league. I played little league for two years then moved up to Juniors where I got to play on a major league sized field. Baseball has always been a major part of my life, and will continue to be for as long as I live.

This year, I plan to play Baseball for the West Wendover team. The position I want to play the most is center field, but I could also play first base. Because I'm left-handed, there aren't a lot of positions for me to play but outfield is where I like to play the most. I look forward to practicing every day and traveling to different places to go play diffferent teams. My goal for this year is to be a great ball player  and make my dad proud.
