"When I play I don't feel anything, I'm free." That is how everyone in my family would describe athletics. But I doesn't feel that, when I hears the word "sport," I think, boring, useless, and painful. I do feel free whenever I'm playing my violin. The thing is I'm not supposed to be playing instruments. I took one away when I was six and if they find out I might not be able to transfer out of Pila tomorrow.
