The most important thing is to believe in your dreams and you are halfway there.
I had finally got the chance to make my dreams come true. The casting director made me over excited. I couldn’t believe I was really selected for a Hollywood series, but the problem was the distance and probably my parents would never allow me to travel there. If they did, it would be after my school as it was my last year of highschool and my exams were about to begin. I couldn’t lose my chance to become a star so I had to find another way.
I needed some money to get the ticket as soon as possible so I started looking for a job. “What is seek is seeking you” is absolutely true as my neighbour was looking for a babysitter. Although I am not much in to children, I was being paid well. It was my first day of work but my neighbour’s kids were not less than a trouble. The three kids drove me crazy and in just a single day I quit my job because I couldn’t tolerate them.
I got experience of working as a delivery boy and paperboy since I was an adolescent and hadn’t finished my education yet. What other jobs could I expect?
After all my endeavour I finally made enough money to buy me a ticket to Hollywood. I was completely ready, my bags were packed and I was going to buy the ticket. Then I realised that what I was going to do was escaping my house, leaving everything behind, especially my parents.
Anyway, I kept consoling myself that my dreams were important and that my parents were wise enough to understand me. So I contacted a travel agency and I got to know that they don’t sell tickets to teenagers. To be honest, that was what I wanted to hear. Of course my dreams mean a lot to me but without my education done, I am sure, I wouldn’t become a good actor nor would I get a good job.
That’s what my parents were trying to tell me. They believe in me and I will be a superstar one day. Do you want to know what I did with the money I earned? You have to wait for the next issue of Migratory Birds.
Well, that was a joke. I spent them on a new bicycle.
