WRITING
My father has worked all his life as an accountant of a mattress company. He has been very happy until now. At the age of 48 he has realised that he wants to change his life and his job. Two weeks ago, we were sitting on the table to have lunch, when I asked him about what he wanted to dedicate his life when he was a child. He told me that he wanted to be a soldier. I started laughing; I thought that it was a silly dream. Moreover he was totally a disaster with the aspects that require to be fit.
But yesterday, we went to visit the family of one friend of my father and everything changed. His friend, Michel, has passed since he was 16 years working as a mechanic, but 3 years ago, he left his job because he wanted to be a theater actor: the lights, the applause of the audience, the feeling of getting under the skin of another person, think like a stranger do... It was super exciting for him.
He has practised a lot to reach his goal. He has gone to a lot of castings and nothing. He knows that this is not easy but he keeps trying because acting is his passion.
And, out of the blue, I knew that I was wrong. I'm very proud of my dad. Now I've already realised that he is very brave to do whatever he wants. I've never done anything like that yet and I've just tought about starting to take my life like I want, without thinking about what would be better.
REFLECTION
