Jenny’s Brave Choice

Jenny had always loved music. She had a natural knack for rhythms and melodies, and her parents had enrolled her in music classes since she was a young girl. Now, at sixteen years old, she was eager to learn how to play a new instrument.
Her sister, Lily, was also interested in music, and their mother would often take them to the local music store to browse through different instruments. Today was just like any other day – Jenny, Lily, and their mother walked into the store, ready to explore and find Jenny her next musical adventure.
As they perused the aisles, Jenny couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed. She had tried her hand at piano, drums, and even the flute, but nothing seemed to stick. Each instrument came with its own set of challenges, and Jenny was starting to doubt if she was cut out for music at all.
Jenny’s mother and Lily could see the frustration on her face, and they tried their best to cheer her up by showing her different instruments and encouraging her to try them out. But as Jenny attempted to play each one, she couldn’t help but feel like a failure.
Feeling defeated, Jenny suddenly ran out of the store, tears streaming down her face. Her sister cried out, “Jenny, wait!” but Jenny didn’t stop. She kept running until she reached the bridge that ran over the river.
As she stood on the edge of the bridge, Jenny thought about jumping. She thought maybe it would be easier to just give up on music altogether. But as she prepared to take the leap, something stopped her.
Deep down, Jenny knew that this wasn’t the right path for her. She knew that music was her passion, and giving up would mean giving up on herself. With a newfound determination, Jenny turned around and headed back to the music store.
When she arrived, her mother and sister were relieved to see her safe. They hugged her, grateful that she had changed her mind.
As they continued browsing, Jenny’s mother spotted a beautiful acoustic guitar in the corner. She motioned for Jenny to come take a look. Jenny hesitated at first, but her mother’s encouraging smile gave her the push she needed.
“Would you like to try playing the acoustic guitar, Jenny?” her mother asked.
Jenny’s face lit up with excitement. She had always been drawn to the soothing sound of an acoustic guitar, and she had always secretly wanted to learn how to play one.
“Yes, Mom! I love the acoustic guitar,” she replied, grateful for her mother’s suggestion.
Without hesitation, Jenny’s mother bought her the guitar, and Jenny’s heart filled with joy. She hugged her mother and thanked her for never giving up on her.
Jenny wasted no time in getting acquainted with her new guitar. With each strum of the strings, she felt a sense of peace and happiness wash over her. This was it – she had finally found her instrument.
As she played a few chords, Jenny’s family gathered around her, smiling and supporting her. Jenny couldn’t have been happier. She knew that it was her brave choice to face her fears and not give up that had led her to this moment.
From that day on, Jenny practiced every day, honing her skills and sharing her music with her family and friends. And with each song she played, she was reminded of the brave choice she made on that bridge – the choice to never give up on her passion for music.
