Dreams Before Family

Summary

When I was seven, my mother, a pianist, died of cancer. During her last moments, she held my hand.

“Naomi, we both share a passion for the piano. When you grow up, you must stand on the world stage and play for me someday.”

Since then, performing on the stage in Vinna had been a lifelong dream of mine.

From the age of seven, I trained long and hard, practicing more than six hours a day until my fingers and wrists were bruised.

At last, I gained recognition and earned a chance to audition for a spot in a top orchestra at twenty-one.
