My name is Lisa, a well-known pianist. My first performance was still clear in my mind, though it happened so long ago.
That night, my piano performance was the most important thing in my family. To see my performance, my grandparents would come by plane. My aunt Dianne. a successful news reporter, would come as well, though she was quite busy with her TV news every night.
Unluckily, I got very nervous before I performed. What was worse, the more I practiced, the more nervous I was. It seemed very difficult for me to win any prize. When it was my turn, I sat down at the piano in my beautiful dress and started to play. To my disappointment（失望）, I made a mistake and then another. It seemed that it took me years to finish my performance. I ran off the stage with tears in my eyes. I felt surprised when I saw people stand up and cheer for me. My mom and dad had flowers for me and they all said congratulations to me. But what I wanted to do was to go back home and cry. When we were back home, I locked myself in my bedroom. I couldn't believe how I could make such silly mistakes after so many years of hard work. Then I heard someone knocking at the door. It was my aunt. She came in and sat by me.
"I still remember my first show on TV. "she said. "I had practiced a thousand times, but I forgot to mention the name of the news and you may not believe I even pronounced（发音） my own name wrongly. Don't be too hard on yourself. No one can avoid（避免） making mistakes. The key is to face it bravely and learn from it. "Her words made me think a lot.
My aunt is right. We shouldn't be afraid of mistakes. If we can learn from them, they can make us better.
