I worked so hard, it was very hard, but in the end the feeling was this: Now I can do anything. That experience helped me to have the courage to go back to the auditions, to show myself after the failures at X Factor e Amici (first time). Once I graduated, I said to my parents: now give me a year and I’ll just do what I want, let’s see how it ends.” And judging by the results, it turned out pretty well.
