GUITAR
By: Erika Angeline O. Cuerdo
There was a girl I know who want to learn to play guitar. She was on her high school days. She dreams to be a professional guitarist. And also dream someday she can play her favorite song in her own guitar. One day her birthday comes she wished to her mother to buy her a green acoustic guitar. The only chord she knows is the chord of C only. She practices to gain some skills in playing guitar. She bought some song hits, guide books for beginners who want to learn to play a guitar. A day past she did not stop practicing until she learns some song. The first song she learn is “leaving on a jet plane” and some OPM songs. The funny things happened to that girl when she starts learning to play. She can play the guitar but she can’t sing the song, but sometimes she can’t sing the song while playing her guitar. After a year ago, now she can sing while playing her guitar. But she still can’t play her favorite song, “No Ordinary Love”.
Three years later when she starts to play a guitar her professor want her to joint a contest for classical guitar. And her classmates help her to play her piece to present in that contest. That contest is her first contest that she joined. The girl prepared for that contest too much and one of her classmate allows her to use his own composition for that contest. He also helps her to play it perfectly.
This is the moment she has been waiting for. The day has come to perform in classical guitar contest. The girl was very nervous. Her classmates, friends and professor watched her and gave support. All her co-finalist was very good playing their piece. She was the only girl joined in that contest. All her classmates and friends were very nervous too. Her professor prayed for her so that she can play her piece very well. When the awarding is come, she won the 3rd price and she is very happy because she didn’t expect that. All her friends were very happy for her achievement.
And that girl named ERIKA ANGELINE O. CUERDO….and that is me…
