The Most Challenging Thing I Have Ever Accomplished

When I was a child, I am wondering how to play the guitar. My father, during his teenage years, plays it very well especially with old songs. Every time he plays it, I am always there to listen and be amazed after. I like the sound produced by the guitar. I found it very good to my ears. I was very interested to know how is it played. I started practicing when I was in 3rd year high school. My father bought us a guitar so if we have nothing to do, we can start praticing. Using some song hits/magazines and chord chart/book, I practiced playing it every weekends. My father gave/taught me some tips and techniques to make learning easier. The first song I played was "Torete by Moonstar88". I was very happy when I finally learned how it is played. It was a great accomplishment.

- when you don’t like doing what they ask you to do and

b. Considering the given ideas on how to treat others with respect, what can you commit to yourself in terms of dealing with the MCL community: teachers, students, employees, security, maintenance/janitors and canteen personnel?
