As a child wanted to be a ballet dancer. I was being convinced that I had a great talent. My mother told me to keep studying too. She wanted me to be a journalist. I took ballet lessons every day and I used to spend all my money going to the theatre. I thought that studying was a waste of time. One day when I went to ballet class on the bus, the road was blocked. A TV journalist used to interview people about a recent accident. I watched from the bus, absolutely fascinated. While I used to watch I realised that I didn’t want to be a ballet dancer at all. I wanted to become a TV journalist. My mother was delighted.
