Personal Narrative: My Dream: A Journey To Another World

“Hani! TURN BACK RIGHT NOW!” My mom raised her voice then screamed through the front door as her face reddened by irritation. But that was my last chance. I had to flee away to achieve my dream, becoming a singer. When I was seven, my dad brought home a television from his oversea business trip. As I explored all the channels it had, I was fascinated in a music video. I couldn’t take my eyes off the singer. Her confident moves, powerful voice, and charming smile were memorized in my head. From that day, I nurtured a dream to grow into a successful singer. However, my mom and dad were extremely strict, and they had prejudice against people who worked in entertainment industry. I knew I must hide it from my parents or they would destroy it

I started saving money, packing stuffs and searching an accomodation after leaving this house. I furtively tracked all the bus schedule, and finally, my plan was fully made.

Subsequently, I asked the manager to allow me to perform at a stage with the singers in the same company. Luckily, the timing was right; he agreed with a condition that I only could sing no more than three minutes. For me, the permission from him was just like once in a lifetime chance.
I was occupied in preparing a song that could impress on audiences’ memory; besides, I also intensified the practise. Since I left, I tried to contact my parents for the first time. I wanted to show them a new image of me, a different and better me.
