First Anything!

Today is Hans' First Audition. Last night, he wanted to know what would happen if he does not do well?! Poor kid!! He has probably been carrying the big weight of his family's expectations on his little 6 year old's shoulders?! Well, I told him it doesn't matter. There will be other opportunities. I am not sure that was a great response or even a good one?!

Last year, Hans was a background performer on a TVO show‎. He got selected based on a picture I sent in. He worked for 6 days and was paid $300 in total. That was in April. We were pleasantly surprised when the production company emailed and inquired about Hans' availability for an audition. Apparently, the show did well and got picked up for a second season!

Hans' life's aim has been to be a superhero and be famous! Essentially, he has seen superheroes on TV and in movies, and that's where he wants to be. In that sense, this is a dream come true for him. As I am thumb typing this‎ on my mobile phone, my little guy is sleeping. We are 2 and a half hour away from his first audition. I wish him all the best.

When we come back, I will finish this post! Que sera sera...what will be will be...

Hans woke up and said that he was scared to go to the audition! ‎At that point in time, I was a little scared for him too! Would he be scarred for life if I made him go and he did badly and gave up his dreams?! I just put my doubts aside and told my child to get ready to go and have some fun. I also shared that I am scared and it is OK! We have each other and we can do it.

I did not get a chance to be part of Hans' audition, but he was pleased with himself‎. We don't know if he got a role in the TVO show. It doesn't matter. Hans showed up at the audition and took that first step. That's all that matters!
