At first, it felt far more difficult than I had expected, but my teacher smiled patiently and kept 4 me throughout the class. By the end of the course, she praised my progress and said I had done much better than most beginners.

For my first paid class, I was paired with a new teacher, who 7 me on the names of different drums. As a reward for passing the quiz（测试）on my basic knowledge, I got a small sticker!
Determined（坚定的）to improve faster, I started watching online drum courses at home. Under each lesson video, I found countless 8 repeating the same feeling: “I'm 57/62/65 and taking up the drums for the first time.” Knowing that others of my age were also stepping out of their comfort zones（舒适区）made me feel far less 9 about starting late.
At my latest lesson, I earned two more stickers! With this small success as my 10 , I went home and practised even harder, because you never know when a famous band might need someone to stand in for them. I even wondered if they gave out stickers to their guest drummers?
