I'm so grateful. I'm so grateful because when I started this journey, I knew nothing about it. More specifically, I had no idea where to begin, who to talk to, what to do. Though I barely closed one chapter of my life and embarking on a new one, I would be lying if I said I wasn't scared. I am. The thought of the future scares me, it always scares me. But more than anything, it excites me. It fuels me.

I just got back from my meeting with the Founder and Executive Director of the film festival. I told him about my struggles and my interest for the field that I am pursuing. I told him that I'm not looking for a job. I'm looking for a career that will allow me to make a difference. He then looked at me and said, "You have a great presence and you are extremely well spoken. You also have a wonderful smile. Things will come around and when the time comes, you'll do amazing."

The butterflies and knots in my tummy miraculously disappeared and pretty soon, I felt something that I've been searching for.

Passion.
