Share an event or incident you have encountered personally and why and/or how it has affected you or is especially meaningful to you (LESS THAN 300 words)
A few months back, in 2006, I made the decision of being a recording artiste of an artiste school.
Prior to that, I was enrolled in singing and stage performance lessons as they have always been my passion. Unexpectedly after a few lessons, the chief producer of the artiste school told me that he wanted to sign me on as his recording artiste! I was stunned as it had never occurred to me that I would have this opportunity of a lifetime.
In my thoughts, I wondered why I was the one chosen instead of so many other talented students in my class. At that point of time, I would not deny that I was thrilled and wanted to be their artiste. He gave me time to think and discuss about it with my parents.
However, at the next meeting, I informed him of my decision without discussing it with my parents. I felt bad because I made the choice according to my desire and did not regard the importance of my parents’ views.
When I plucked up the courage and called my mother, a hint of sadness and disappointment could be heard through the phone. She asked me that even though I really love singing, there was no need to go to the extent of being an artiste.
That statement crushed my mood. At that moment, I felt my mother did not understand me and doubted the decision that I made. I knew she was worried for me. However, I felt that though life offers many opportunities, chances like these are rare. I told myself I should seize this opportunity since it has been given to me.
Though this decision brought me lots of distress and turmoil during that time, I never once regretted the decision that I made.
i was stumbled initially to write about my contract thing *though i didnt mention the contract thing in the essay* as i wasnt sure if it was appropriate..then i asked karen if i should, then she said go ahead. anyway thats the only thing i could think of writing it...
okok le.. i go slp le ciao! happy new yr guys!
