From Wondry, I'm Andrew Mayer, and this is Who's Amazing Life?

You've heard of people who changed the course of history, but before they made their mark on the world, they were people like you and me, still figuring out what they wanted to do with their lives.

On this episode, you will be that person everyone knows. You might be a musician, or an athlete, a scientist, or a painter.

You may know what the person accomplished later in life, but now you can experience everything they faced along the way.

From challenges and heartbreak to triumphs and excitement, all the moments that built this person into someone who would change the world.

There will be clues, so pay attention,

but only at the end will you find out who you are.

So sit back and imagine your amazing life as The Composer.

Music amazing life as the composer. Imagine. You're seven years old. You're standing with your parents in a small room

backstage. The three of you are wearing your finest clothes. You may look nice, but you feel really uncomfortable.

You try to adjust your shirt, but your dad stops you. Don't fiddle with your clothing. Stand up

straight. Yes, father. You've been traveling all day to get here, and you feel pretty tired,

but mostly you feel nervous. You're about to do something you've never done before.

Play piano in front of an audience.

Your dad straightens your collar.

Only a child and already the greatest musician in the world!

You gulp.

Your dad has such high expectations for you, and you don't know if you can live up to them.

Your dad is a musician as well.

A few years ago, he started teaching you how to play the piano. At first, piano lessons were a lot of fun.
