Make a dream come true 馃尃
Some years ago I decided to become a singer and I started to work hard every day to achieve my goal. However, my family didn't support me and my dad always told me "you can't make a living from music", he sounded like a broken record. But those words couldn't bring me down.
One day I went to a party with some friends and there I met John who is a music producer, we hit it off immediately. After some time talking to each other, he said that he wished they would stop playing this boring elevator music, it was putting him to sleep. Why can't they play something fun like salsa or jazz? he asked. Therefore, we agreed to leave the party and go to a discotheque.
Once there we danced and enjoy the music a lot. Later on, I decided to tell him about my dream to become a singer. Fortunately, he told me he was looking for a new singer to represent and that he would love to represent me. That was music to my ears! Nevertheless, he didn't like my music and stopped helping me.
Despite all the obstacles that arose along the way such as closed doors, being sick, and being overweight. I had to face the music and go forward. I do not want to blow my own trumpet, but unlike many people, I am very perseverant. I knew that some closed doors would not stop me from making my dream come. And my illness neither, so I took care of myself and when I got my medical reports, the doctor said that I was as fit as a fiddle. Now I eat well and keep exercise regularly.
I keep working to fulfill my dream and I am sure that one day I will achieve it.
