a decade too late

I had my playing final for my orchestral excerpts class today. I played semi-decently, and the teacher told me that (a) I did a good job learning the excerpts and (b) that I play better than I should with the physical problems that I have. Then he spent 10 minutes or so comparing my playing somewhat unfavorably to his 12-year-old daughter's. Prompting again the question: why exactly am I here?
Incidentally, my birthday is on Thursday, which will put me 11 years behind instead of only 10.
