My name is Sara．When I was little, I played the drums．I also had a guitar．In fourth grade, I started playing the trombone(长号)．I practised about four hours a week．All of
this might not seem like a big deal for a lot of kids, but there’s something about me that makes me a bit different from others．I was born without hands．Since I was about one year old, I’ve worn prosthetics(假肢)．
This year, I got an invitation to join the high school marching band(行进管乐队)．I told my mom I wanted to do it．But I had an instructor who thought I would not be able to march in the band—not because it was a high school band and I was only in seventh grade，but probably because my body was different．All I wanted was to show that I could do it, so I joined the band．And it paid off!
Music gives me energy．That happens sometimes．One time I was so down, I didn’t even want to get out of bed．Then I hit my MP3 player by accident．A song came on, and I got up and started dancing．It helped me say to myself，“OK, I can get through today．”
Around my musician friends, we all share the same problems, like working out how many beats there are in a measure(小节)．I have a hard time counting the beats, but so do a lot of the other kids．It’s a normal problem that we musicians share．When I’m with the band, I don’t feel as different as I do in other situations．It’s just another way that music makes me want to go on, and not to just sit down by myself and not care about life．

No doubt there are ups and downs in life．Whatever the situation is, you shouldn’t lose your joy of life．Life is for a limited period only and no one knows how long he/she will live, so why do you waste your precious time in worrying about the things that are beyond your control? Be happy, and enjoy your life unconditionally(无条件地)．
You enjoy good days but you also need to learn how to enjoy bad days, even enjoy your pain．In 2016 when I was in Geneva, Switzerland, I suffered a sudden heart attack．My colleagues called an ambulance and I was taken to hospital with much pain in my chest．Before reaching hospital, I was totally exhausted with pain and was going to lose control of my emotions．Then the doctor in the ambulance said, “Don’t worry; you are in safe hands．” His words took away all my pain because I started realizing that it was no time to worry about pain and it’s time to be happy that my life was safe．At that time, I learnt an important lesson that in pain there is a hidden joy and whoever sees the bright side can enjoy pain．My pain turned into a joy which greatly helped me recover more quickly than expected．
You not only enjoy success but you also need to learn to enjoy failure．Failure provides you with an opportunity to benefit from so many choices you’ve made．Celebrating failure will raise your morale and make you more powerful and determined to achieve success．We all make mistakes in life but only the courageous(勇敢的) people not only laugh at their own mistakes but also let other people laugh
at them and then they reach success without any spiritual burden(负担)．A person who learns from mistakes and knows how to turn the bad situation into his/her favor is the most intelligent person and really enjoys his/her life．
