The post comes through the letterbox like it does every morning. I pick it up off the floor. Most of it is bills for my parents like always but there's a leaflet for a talent show.

I put the letters on the table and take the leaflet into the living room, sit on the sofa and read it.

It says auditions for the show are being held in 2 weeks on the 20th of August at St George theatre. Not far from here.

I decide to audition as I've always wanted to be a singer. My dad says I'll never make it as a singer. My mum believes pretty similar things too.

Whenever they tell me this, I always think "I'll show you one day. When I'm famous. When I'm worth millions. When you're begging for money."

I do love them, but they never really have believed in me.
