I still can’t understand it. Of course I will do my best and have gone deep into working hard to be as ready as I can. It is a big, and unique opportunity and I just have to go and give everything I can. It is a difficult industry to get in to, so you have to take the opportunities you get, follow your ambitions and dream big.
