Basically I'm from Europe. A shitty shitty country there. I know that if you want to succeed in life you shouldn't listen to other people and do your thing. It is impossible for me to study here because I don't have 8 years of musical school. I want to sing opera. I have talent. I'm not trying to brag, I'm only pointing it out so you do not assume I am one of those people who are blind to what they can and can not do...Anyway. Even if I finish those 8 years in a faster period I would have to have money for that. Money and connections. That is my country. Exactly like that. Money and connections.
I'm 19. I'd like to study in the USA. I don't need former education- I mean 8 or plus years of musical school? I have knowledge and a voice.
I quit the college in which I was here since I wasn't happy. Not doing the real thing I want. And I will be working now so I could pay my singing lessons and also to save up if I will be going to the USA to study. I know I have to pass the SAT and everything. And I know it is a bit of a long shot, but damn it, why can't I have a dream and why can't I be one of those people who succeed because they were headstrong and never gave up and who always stood back up after they fell?
My parent are not happy of course. No parent would be happy if their child quit college to chase a dream. I know they don't believe in me and they think it's too hard and they think I'm not living in reality. When all my life I've been hearing about them and other people talking about those other people who have succeeded in their lives by taking risks and failing but in the end doing what they wanted! But when it comes to people closer to yourself and others..they only put them down and laugh at them. And that is why other people succeed because they don't believe a word they say and do their own thing. I know it's hard! And I know I can do it. Being really strong. And becoming a person who doesn't whine about problems, but gets to their solutions and has a STRONG WILL...is a person I want to become. I know I might fail, but I can say I tried. And I want to live my dream, without caring what other people say. Even my parents, friends, everybody. If you have a problem don't whine about it go and do something about it. It can always be worse. Is what I tell myself constantly. Well..why are people like that? I really have lost faith in people. There are good ones, but I see them in books only. What are your thoughts about all of this? There are people with worse problems but it doesn't mean my problem goes away with me knowing that. Thank you for reading. Advice is appreciated. | |
I'd like to know what country you are from. Because the US is no dream. It is a place that is cold and unwelcoming to many foreigners. It has backwards philosophies on things like health care, education, and care for the elderly. It cares about war and taking care of the rich who ncan buy elections. And I say this as an American who is doing quite well financially. If I can see the hypocrisy and selfishness of this country, anyone can.
I would trade everything I have in America for the social equality of Scnadanavia or France in a second. My point is: Think twice before deciding that your dreams lay here.
