The earliest memory I can think of is performing for our school performance in first grade(around valentines day). The main act I was interested in, involved several of the boys playing these fake cardboard guitars. THE ONLY THING I WANTED WAS TO BE ONE OF THOSE GUITAR PLAYERS!!!!!!!! Now, keep in mind although I play guitar now, the only reason I wanted to be one of those guitar players was for the attention, no certain attraction to the instrument at all. But what do you know, THEY DON'T LET ME!!!! So I just thought all of the people who did got to be one of the guitar players we're stupid POOP HEADS. In the end I'm sure I pouted and frowned through the whole performance, yet again trying to draw attention to myself.
Looking back on this now I realize that it probably wasn't a huge deal. Playing a little cardboard guitar in front of everyone isn't the greatest experience someone could have. Although, I'm not saying I completely avoid attention now. Sure, attention can be good every once in a while, but there is a difference between wanting attention and just being outspoken. I would hope that now I would fall under the latter of the two, and it's experiences like that that remind me that having a lot of attention can sometimes just make you look really stupid.
