"Oh, Emma ..."
"Yes, Professor.".
"I wanted to tell you that I never had your version.
"Come on glielavevodata prof.
"No, Emma. You gave me your version of the version of Martinelli, with the exact same mistakes that he did. "
"Ugh prof ..."
"And the hearts instead of dots on i, as an attempt to customize the crap version of Martinelli's, you know, it is not enough."
"Prof, must understand that it is a bad time for me."
"No, no, last year was a bad time. Then around March we decided that was over the bad time, remember? "
" Vaguely. "
"The principal had called your parents, your poor mother was crying, she said she did not know what to do with you, then you were making you cry, the headmaster had made console, then he he started crying ... "
" It was una cosa molto emozionante, prof”.
“Fu la più grossa pagliacciata a cui ho assistito in vita mia, Emma, detta da uno che da bambino al circo ci andava volentieri. E allora adesso ti chiedo: quest'anno prevedi le repliche?”
“Prof, insomma, cosa pretende da me? Il latino? Una cosa che tra cinque mesi comunque non c'entrerà più con la mia vita? Devo davvero perdere il mio tempo con quella roba? Si metta un po' nei tuoi panni”.
“Nei tuoi panni, Emma, ed è un argomento che avrei preferito non toccare, nei tuoi panni tu stessa fatichi un po' a starci, ultimamente”.
“Epprof...”
“Tanto più che la mini non va neanche più fashion.
"What does it matter, I do not follow fashion."
"Sure."
"I'm classic."
"Emma, \u200b\u200bbut believe me when I say that I'm worried about you? Seriously concerned "
" It should not, Professor. "
"But I worry."
"But when I say that it should not."
"That the discourse of the Latin I could also understand, if I were to do a serious girl, responsible, one that came here and said to me, professor, I knew what my way, and the Latin right there ' is, so I decided to focus on other things and so, here, a speech so I'd understand. "
"Well, Professor, then do that girl I am there."
"Are you telling me you've decided what to do next year?"
"I'm thinking."
"It's six months that we're thinking."
"It's just that I have to think well."
"But there will be something in life that you enjoy doing."
"Eccerto there."
"And ..."
"But if I tell you then she gets angry."
"I'm Emma I'm not angry. I'm worried that in some ways is worse. "
"Phew, and that's fine. I would like to sing. "
"Singing."
"Because I'm good, you remember a trip? And I say it all. Even my father thinks. "
"Okay, sing along, but in what sense, sorry, sing."
"In the sense that I'd like to do in life."
"By profession, you mean?"
"But yes, too."
"And have you thought about taking lessons? Because it's too late for the conservatory, I would say. "
"The conservatory? Did I do something wrong? No, for now I have these friends of mine, with a complex, but it's not just the music for me, I just find someone who understands me alone ... I put "
" Because the music that appeals to you, it would ... "
"Italian music."
"A classic."
"I told you that classic, I will."
"It all seems still very vague. Let me be frank, Emma, I really seem the classic dreams of a little girl. "
"But sometimes dreams come true."
"Yes, but I can not come true by dint of dreaming, it takes the application, study ... and also luck, of course. In short, if you think about it, to sing after high school ... is to begin a road without knowing where you will ... as you can still support your family, you've thought it? "
" Well, maybe for my beginning is a sacrifice, but then if things go well ... "
" And if you do not go well? "
" And Oh well, 'Professor, if one thinks so, does not run ever. "
"What a curious word that you used, launch."
"You just do not believe in me, eh? Do you think that fall, evil. "
"I'm concerned, Emma, \u200b\u200bthat's all. I've always seemed like a cute girl, original, and yet ... Four months after the maturity I go out with the most banal of all: you want to sing, you have a dream, then maybe what's in this dream, tell me: do you think engrave your disks? you will be successful? Sanremo win? "
" Sanremo is old ".
"Are you sure that this famous dream, Emma, \u200b\u200bis something of a refuge, a place to hide when you see that the nodes are close to comb ... do not ask you to stop dreaming, but at least dream a little 'shorter term, try to dream about what will happen in six months, a year or two: Where do you see? "
" Well I thought I might take a short degree in psychology, what it's called ... "
" Psychology? "
" That to teach children ... "
" Education ".
"Because I love children."
"Want to work with children? Kindergarten teacher? "
" Come on, comunque se non riesco a cantare da professionista, al massimo farò quello”.
“Suona un po' come un ripiego, no?”
“In che senso?”
“Insomma, in concreto cosa farai? Di giorno studierai per diventare maestra e di sera canterai? Pensi che potrà funzionare?”
“E perché no”.
“Perché sono due vite in una sola, Emma, e per ora non mi sembri capace di mandarne avanti nemmeno una. Ma prima o poi dovrai scegliere, capisci?”
“E in quel momento sceglierò”.
“Forse mi sono spiegato male. Non sarà “un momento”. Saranno infiniti momenti, in cui tu dovrai scegliere se insistere in a dream that is becoming increasingly difficult, more risky, or take the easy way out, maybe become a kindergarten teacher, but also to discover the easiest way is hard, that working with children is exhausting, you return home with hoarse voice and back to pieces, and then discover that the job gets in the way to your dream ... "
" And then I will fire. "
"But perhaps he could not anymore, because in the meantime maybe you knew a guy and you have set up house, and you need money, or simply a job that proves to the world that you are not a useless person, un'acchiappanuvole that continues to chase dreams out of time ... "
" Un'acchiappache? "
" What I'm trying to say is that ... if you really you would believe in your 'dream' if you really thought that singing was your life, do not leave any behind the bridge. Instead you have already prepared a plan B, you will work with the children in his spare time and make it as singer. But it never goes out this way. No one has ever become a star in after work. It's something that does not happen, simply. "
"So what should I do?"
"Watching really at the bottom of your motivations. We think seriously about your future as a singer? or is it just a trick with which cheating yourself as time goes by? If we really believe are the first to tell you: down the drain, fuck Latin, of maturity, what they think parents and teachers, come back with a gold record or not to return. But we think so? "
" I do not know. "
"And maybe this is already answered."
"It's getting late, professor, I must go."
"Me too. Goodbye, Emma. "
"Goodbye, Professor Flack."
