Rose watched as her friend, Melissa, and three other girls practiced their dance moves. Rose told her mom, “I want to take ballet(芭蕾)lessons!” Her mom was happy and bought her a dress. Rose went to the lessons. But she found it boring to do the same movements(动作) again and again. After a few lessons, Rose told her mom, “I’m not going to the lessons anymore.” Bored, she drew a picture of a lovely “ballerina”. She said to herself,” I’m not good at anything.”

One day after school, Rose visited Amanda. Amanda was practicing the guitar. Rose told her mom when she came back home, “I want to play the guitar!” Her mom bought a secondhand guitar for her.
