I still remembered my first time to see the double bass was in an orchestra concert when I was ten years old. At that time, I had a dislike for this huge instrument because I saw a fat woman carried it to the stage and played some unclear bass sounds. Those things made me think that people who played the bass would become fat and ugly, in addition, people who played the double bass would also mean that he/she had no status in the orchestra.
However, when I entered to the music school of the elementary, I couldn't believe that I was picked up as a bass player just because of my height. When I knew this decision, I cried and tried to convince my teacher of my unwilling. No matter what I did, I still had to play the double bass. Therefore, at the first few years of bass learning, I carried an uncomfortable mind to learn the bass.
