I have something that I have a hard time with. I am totally in love with the idea of being an entertainer, more specifically a K-pop idol. Seeing the idols preform and the things they get to experience just sparked a longing in me. I just love the rush of performing and seeing the audience’s smiles. But I have a few obstacles. First I’m not gifted in singing. Of course i’m not tone deaf though. I have thought of hiring a vocal coach but i just don’t have the money for it. I really love singing though. I sing any chance i get. I can dance though! But my genre of dancing is pretty different from the type the idols dance. But i love to get up and groove and i’m also a very fast learner and have good memory in the steps. Another problem i have is i have major stage fright when i am alone. i start shaking and my voice gets very small and i cant hear anything except my own loud, fast heartbeat pounding in my ears. And lastly and probably the thing i’m most worried about is my family. I am forever grateful for everything my family has done for me. They have sacrificed and suffered through way too much just for us kids. My parents own a restaurant and work Monday through Saturday, from 8:00 am to 10:00 pm just the two of them with the occasional help of my grandparents. They do all of this so that My brother and I can go to a great college and have a Great career and live a successful life. I am so terrified that if i tell them that i want to be a K-pop Idol, it would totally crush them. The entertainment companies are looking for younger people to train and release to the public. And that takes years. I am currently 14, 15 in a month and now would be the prime time to audition. which means lets say i do make it through. I would have to train through the years where i would attend college. Im not originally a religious person but i have been so desperate that I’ve started praying to god for answers and guidance. I don’t have anyone to tell this to because all my friends think that the whole Kpop scene is just kind of silly. I honestly don’t know what to do anymore. How am i suppose to get better at singing? How am i going to secure my future? What will my family think? will they support me or will i be left alone?

Become a kpop singer. Don’t let your dreams be crushed by the flaws you have. Practice makes perfect plus it doesn’t matter what others think about your dreams. Prove them wrong and you’ll accomplish so much
Just follow your dreams, most of the popular Korean idols wasn’t “perfect” at singing or dancing. For example, take Jin from BTS as an example, he wasn’t that good at dancing in the past but he tried hard and eventually, he got way better.
