And there I was. Sitting on that chair, taking a deep breath before I decide to open that e-mail.
I always dreamt about making it out of here. But I never really had the courage of leaving my dear ones alone. So I decided to carry with the boring routines and live the typical life to please everyone but me. Until a few months ago, when I started an online course about public relations and digital marketing. A course that would help me make connections and meet people and be creative.
I've always been a football fan. The thrill of watching your favourite players, the crying, the screaming... the adrenaline. And when I received my certificate after completing the course, I applied for the role of social media manager for one of the most famous football clubs in the world.
Paris Saint German.
'Are you planning on opening that email anytime soon?' my little sister's voice brought me back to reality.
'Come on, we're all waiting.' my mum said shaking my shoulder.
I was terrified. It was like I couldn't move or find the courage to press that damn button. What if they rejected my application? What if I'm never going to chase my dreams?
What if?
'You got to be kidding me, Irina! Press that damn button!' my brother in law shouted from behind.
Without a second thought, I double clicked on the email and started scanning until I burst into tears.
"Dear Irina,
We have received your application and it would be a pleasure to have you joining us here, at Paris Saint German, as a social media manager. We were very impressed with your skills—"
What if I get to chase my dreams?
'OH MY GOD!' Alexa, my older sister hugged me, almost making me fall of the chair. 'OH MY GOD, YOU GOT IT!'
'I got it...' I said crying, nodding my head in agreement. 'I GOT IT.'
