For Pineda,it was a long way to succeed.
His story began in El Salvador,where he was born with something wrong with his mouth. He had great 1 in speaking. At age 2,his house burned down. Pineda was hurt 2,and his legs needed to be cut. His mother died when he was 8,and he 3 years on the streets before he was taken in by an orphanage(孤儿院).
Finally,at the orphanage,Pineda began to receive support and encouragement. He taught himself to play the guitar. He began his 4 with other musicians. Then a group went to Chicago,where Pineda was then 18,caught the attention of many people,who wondered what they could do to help him.
A hospital offered him free medical care. A rich man agreed to 5 for Pineda’s tickets to and from El Salvador.
When he was in the hospital,Pineda began 6 music,and wondered if he might be able to record his own album(音乐专辑). Soon with the help of a musician,“The Sound of Gratitude(感激)” was born. On October 15th,Pineda went to a Chicago club to 7 his new songs to strangers,and to the friends who had helped him so far,It was amazing that Pineda had come into such a good luck,after having so many years of hardship(艰难). “We have a saying in El Salvador,‘Suffer(受难) first,then enjoy.’ I guess that’s what’s happening.” he said.
