Follow your instincts and you will find peace

When I was in my last semester of High school I made the decision to pursuit what I think it was my real passion, music. I told to my parents that I would not go to a regular “college” that I wanted to be a musician. It really surprised me that they supported me in 100%, not a lot of people who choose that path have their parents by their side.

At the moment everything was going perfect, I was taking an induction course to Engineering in audio and music production and I really liked all the stuff that we were going to cover; but in the inside I had a strange feeling, emptiness.  Back in Tec my friends were already in classes and they were delighted; I was happy for them but still can’t understand why I was uneasy if I was doing what I wanted. One night I stayed up till sunrise thinking about my decision and if it was correct, I reached to the conclusion that if I wasn’t enjoying what I do it can’t be my real passion; so I followed my instinct, even if that means that I would be quitting to my dream.

The next step was to choose a new career, engineering’s were my first option because all my friends were there, but in reality I hated all the theoretical classes and the rigid way of thinking. At last I checked LCC and I really liked it so I signed in. First semester was horrible: I quit my dream and all my friends mocked me because of my career; day and night I asked myself if this decision was worst than the other.

Finally I make through the first and second semester, but with doubts. It was until my Photgraphy class that all made sense to my mind: an old passion that I have was rising again and in the next media classes I started to discovered that I was good making films and editing, I’ve discovered my REAL passion. Now I’m working a lot to fulfill my dream and have my own production company.

I think that even though it was very hard and sad to leave something that I wanted a lot like music it was worthy because I founded that making films was better for me; I followed my instinct and founded peace.
