Follow Your Dreams
Bradbury School , Chow , Amelia - 10
I blocked everything out . All I did was think . I started to panic . This is my dream job interview at Rob Mills ’ Office . The flight is delayed . I need to find a way to get there . I ’ m not missing this opportunity . I ’ m not giving up .
This is ... Marine , uh … Tullamarine Airport ! I need to get to Perth Airport ! I ’ m going to Perth somehow . Someway . Sometime . There ’ s three other people that are going to Perth ! I run up to them and ask them what they ' re doing in Perth , a city in Western Australia . There ’ s a slight problem . All of them want my job . But if we don ’ t work together , none of us would get the job . If we do work together , one of us would get the job . It ’ s worth trying . To get there . At least .
Gabrielle , Jay , Spencer and I all want the interior designing job . We all agree on getting there as quick as possible . There ’ s a voice in my head , telling me that we won ' t be able to get to Perth . I ’ ve got to ignore the negative thoughts . Firstly , we have to come up with a plan . How to get there ? Plane ? Car ? Hike ?
In the end , we decide to catch a flight to Perth . Suddenly , an announcement comes on , and I get nervous , and scared . “ Everybody , a sandstorm is coming towards us now , and we will keep you safe in our shelter room . Nobody will let you out of the airport unless you have something really important to do . Our staff will lead you to the room , please don ’ t leave the airport . Thank you for your kind attention .”
After that , all four of us start to panic , we have to think of another way to get to Perth . Quickly , we start to plan , again . Sooner or later , we decided to hike to Ballarat , it will be our first stop . We make up an excuse to try to sneak out of the airport . The guard believed us and let us go . Well , our excuse wasn ' t a lie , but it wasn ’ t the truth either . We quickly went over to Target and bought some clothes , food and especially water . When we stepped into Target , there was almost nothing in the store . We went over to the food and drinks section , and there was enough for us four . Just enough . After our visit to Target , we set off towards our first stop , Ballarat .
Hiking for a day is hard . And we did it . We arrived at Ballarat , a city northwest of Melbourne . Ballarat was famous for its antique structures and special atmosphere . The buildings were old and they looked amazing . Most of them looked like churches and towers , mostly brown . Oh , I wish I could design the insides of one of them ! Over the last 20 hours , we only ate once , and we were hungry , really hungry . So , we sat down and had food , at 2 o ’ clock in the morning . Good thing I brought my pocket money just in case ! Down the street , there was a small shop that was open . We hurried down there and asked if we could get a few things from the shop , but the shop owner told us to leave because he was going home to prepare for the sandstorm . The voice is in my head again . It ’ s saying we will run out of money and the shop owner won ’ t let us get anything . The voice keeps making me annoyed . I ’ ll just ignore it . After asking for five minutes , he finally let us buy food and water . With food and water with us , we decided to head towards Port Augusta , our next stop .
Gabrielle finds a car rental store nearby , and we choose to rental a car . Alex gives us bad news . We have no money left . We start to panic and I give my diamond necklace and my matching earrings to the car rental store . We get a Mercedes , for one day . So , we made use of the time and started driving towards Port Augusta , a city in South Australia because there was the same car rental store in Port Augusta . We could just drop the car off in Port Augusta . Without wasting time , we start to drive .
After driving for seven hours , finally we arrived at Port Augusta . It was a little chilly , so we bought some jackets . Port Augusta was beautiful . The sea views , at the sunsets were incredible . We had about $ 10 left to use , so we were panicking . Gabrielle and I decided to cut off our hair and give it to charity . To make wigs , and we got some money . It was for good , and we wanted to make children happy . Spencer searched up our next stop for us to take a break at , he told us to go to Perth . Without thinking , Gabrielle booked us a flight to Adelaide . She was eager to get to Rob Mills ’ Office .
When we arrived , we decided to get some food . Ooh ! McDonalds is right around the corner !
