Hesitation: Leaving home

After I graduated I was such a home-body I was too content to be at home to branch out and leave for college, plus I was stuck in a mindset of wanting to 'assist' in the high school music program.  Because of this, I spent a lot of my free time in the high school playing the piano for various groups of choir students and prepping with them for their concerts.

I loved helping my favorite teacher as much as she would allow.  Mrs. Carmen Domek tolerated me being there and I could tell at first she didn't seem to mind me being at the school most days, but after a while I believe she expressed to my parents and/or to me that I seemed to be wasting my life there.  I am sure she found a very kind and thoughtful way to express this, but to me at the time it was a huge blow and I felt embarrassed and scolded.
