    My philosphy in life is if you want to do it, just do it and don't care about what other people think or say. When I got to high school I was the only freshman and girl trumpet player in the marching band. I tell you I got pick on and teased a lot by the older male trumpet players. I can tell you some true horror stories. If I had let them make me quit I would have never been a music teacher. So just go for it. You will never know where it may lead you in life. Also if you don't try you may regret it later in life.
