Ukulele
A few years ago, my dream was to learn how to play the guitar. I won a guitar from my father but I never learned how to play it, because I didn't even know how to tune it. Later on, I met my current boyfriend and he tried to teach me how to play the guitar, but it was too complicated for me. I couldn't make the chords because I have a small hand and it felt impossible to put pressure on two fingers so distant from one another. I gave up on trying because it was too frustrating. But then, watching covers on YouTube, I discovered about the ukulele, a Hawaiian instrument that looks exactly like a little guitar, except it has 4 strings instead of 6. The ukulele sound is warm and vivid. So, my new passion became the ukulele. I bought one and it was much easier to play for being small. Since then, I'm learning how to play it and I'm improving slowly, but at least I'm improving. I already know how to play 4 songs: I'm Yours by Jason Mraz, Riptide by Vance Joy, Can't Help Falling in Love by Elvis and Photograph by Ed Sheeran. The most challenging for me was making the chords and strumming at the same time. Now I know the basics and maybe I can try the guitar again in the future.

who vs he: techinally he is correct, however when reading this who sounds more natural
while: this just makes it flow a bit more and adds context and makes it sound more natural
Playing: a passion usually refers to a verb or action, so in this case, playing
I hope this helps! I'm sorry if it was too long or had too many edits! Best of luck with the guitar and ukulele!
