Hello, Fastlane Community!
My name is Anna, I am 27 from Brazil and I am currently living in Sydney, Australia.
I grew up in a humble family in Brazil and I was always very ambitious and driven. When I was 13 I started playing the violin and when I turned 16 I decided I wanted to study abroad. My ambitious led me to move to Bulgaria at the age of 17, and as one could imagine, the path wasn't all flowers.
I finished my bachelor's in Sofia and then received an invitation to go to the Carnegie Mellon University in the US. I later moved to KY and I am now in the middle of my PhD in violin at the University of Sydney, Australia. I have had the opportunity to travel, learn different cultures, languages, play in different cities, and I am really grateful for all of that.
Why am I here?
I read the MFL and about a year or so ago I have realized that although I am now about to realize a dream of getting my PhD in violin, I am broke and I don't know what do to next. I also have realized that I have never focused on money in the past and being broke forever is just not an option for me. I have been teaching one-on-one to make ends meet and I know that's not what I wanna do for the rest of my life. Enough of trading time for money.
I am now torn between my passion and career, that requires a lot of time and it's not financially rewarding (at least I didn't find the fastlane here yet), and new entrepreneurship endeavours.
I am smart, witty, and ambitious but I don't know where to start just yet.
Thank you for the forum and comments are appreciated!
I look forward to learning with you all!
