My dream, is to be a singer.
So is lots of peoples.
Its like, many people have a dream but then they have like a realistic job they want to do.
Like my brother J. He's had dreams where he wanted to be a famous chef or rockstar, but realisticly he wants to be a vet.
Not me. Oh no. I just have the singing.
I like writing and art and cooking and plenty of things.
But i love singing.
So when i said to my dad the other day , " Dad can you ask Your mate if she can give me vocal lessons?" I expected him to laugh outright and say no.
But he didn't.
And then my mum said to me that she had always pushed try a range of things but ultimately to choose something that would make good use of my brain - because im gifted and talented apparently. But after speaking to her friend who had been a secretary for years, she had a change of heart and now wants me to just be happy no matter what i choose to do.
So should i pursue it?
Its such a fickle business, and when i watch people on X Factor - I know I know - I Just dont feel up to the standard of some....

That depends on why you want to do it. You say you dream of being a singer. Does that mean you want to pursue a lucrative career in pop music? Good luck with that one! And, as you say, look at the X Factor. Is that really the way you want to go? If, on the other hand, you want to sing because you love music and want to make music, then what's stopping you? Go join a band, or start one. There must be other musically-minded people at your school?
