I live in Portugal in the district of Lisbon to be exact, and here, there aren’t many financial supports from the state if your family aggregate earns more than a specific amount of money, meaning, that I don’t have the right to receive any kind of financial aid from social security.
The dream part comes now in the form of a recently acquired ‘taste’: Sushi
There is really only one school of sushi chefs available here and despite believing that I couldn’t handle the knives and the pressure of cuisine, I’ve became quite fond of, not only eating sushi, but trying to make it. But the course is so expensive for me that I cannot pay it. I cannot ask my family to support me in another try-and-quit-in-middle thing. They already have spent some money on other things I quit, and with the pension cuts because of the economic crisis the country is going through, they often comment that even though we aren’t eating from the ground sometimes the money that we receive from their pensions isn’t enough to pay for the cost of living, bills, food, gas and other common things.
So, it is a ‘would be a dream’ even though I’d probably cut a finger off because of my body and hand-arm tremors.
I’m just sharing something that I got enthused and happy with even though it might be only a fleeting dream. I feel good just watching all those sushi making techniques.
And the job situation here is awful specially taking in consideration that I personally don’t perform well under stress.
But hey. Just sharing… It’s dreaming right? Can’t hurt you?!
