My parents were strict as well. I didn't have much free time. I was always either at school, practicing my violin or performing somewhere. At least you were able to learn an instrument!
It does. My parents hadn't wanted me to come to America, they thought it would be very detrimental to my career in music. Turns out it was the best thing that ever happened me. Though I could've done without the drama that eventually ensued.
Thank you, that's very kind of you. I will remember that if I need it.
