Five Unexpected life lessons from a class or hobby.
In my first year of Marching Band I learned five life lessons, sunblock, I sweat, sensitive eyes, don't be cocky, and I need to be more confident in life. The first being that my skin does actually burn after being in the sun for a long time. For years I would go out with out sunscreen because I did not burn that fast. But I learned from band camp that I will burn and my school pictures will look like crap. Another Life lesson I learned is that no matter what sport I do (yes marching band is a sport) I will want to bring a fresh pair of clothes and/or sandles because i apparently sweat a lot! In band you are not allowed to wear sandles, causing your feet to get sweaty and gross, not to mention all your clothes will be saturated in sweat by the end of the day. So Fresh clothes is good to have. A third life lesson I learned is that my eyes are sensitive and I need to bring sunglasses with me where ever I go. My eyes hurt after being in the bright sun, and sunglasses are their saviors. The fourth life lesson I learned is to not pretend you are too cool for something, when in reality, everyone is being a dork so you are the outcast and everyone will think you are one of those annoying cocky kids and hate you for the rest of the day. The fifth and final lesson I learned in Marching band camp is that you can not be shy! If you are shy and not willing to put your hardest into what you are doing, you will not only stand out, but you will continue to learn things the shy way, which is usually the wrong way because you do everything more slowely then everyone else because you are unsure of yourself.
