The Spark That Was Lost Lost By Dorien Wallace
Have you ever loved something so much you couldn’t let it go? As far as an object, person, or place? The moment you have that connection that you feel cannot be lost. That’s how I felt before giving up the trumpet. When I was in elementary school, clubs and extracurricular activities were starting to pop up. One day, a teacher wearing a white top and black skirt was going to each classroom and asking if the students would like to play an instrument and would be able to meet at a certain time. The instrument I chose was the trumpet, which had a gold color and smelled of metal. The responsibilities of playing the trumpet were not what I thought they would be. I thought you just grab the instrument and take it home. But no, you must clean the spit out and squirt oil into the valves so they can function properly.
