“A musician? Have you lost your mind, Leonard?” Kenneth snapped when his son declared his desire to pursue a career in music.
Leonard, 18 years old and fresh out of high school, was eager to follow his passion. However, his parents had other plans. They wanted him to become a lawyer, just like his father and grandfather, but that was the last thing Leonard wanted.
He had taken a gap year after high school, unsure of what career to pursue, and during that time, he discovered his passion for music. However, when he told his parents, they were anything but impressed.
“What’s wrong with becoming a musician, Dad?” Leonard argued. “There are so many people who followed their passion and became successful. I want to be one of them! I don’t want a boring desk job!”
