Chapter 3: Confidence is all you need.
Carrying my old carpetbag, which I had gotten when my Mother passed away and my precious Guitar I had brought in Vienna during my collage years. I was wearing my 'play dress' of course I had prettier clothes than this but when entering the abbey we give our clothes to the poor. And of course my Hat! No matter how ugly a hat was, one would always have to wear a hat in public or you would be considered rude to others. It also helped when keeping the sun's bright glare out of my eyes. Not that I didn't love the sun, but it was particularly hot, that day.
Looking back once more I longed to go back. I walked a little, and find the plaque on the wall. I sigh and begin reading it hoping it would help me with my journey.
"When the Lord closes a door. Somewhere he opens a window."
Depressed I slump over to the gate, and do the only thing will change my spirits. I sing.
As I leave the Abbey grounds, I contemplate why I should feel so scared. I really do long for the unknown world. It seems I'm torn between the two, as things seem so bad right now, they could be so much worse. I sing on telling myself I must stop worrying and just look forward to my mission. And when September roles around I will be back at Nonnburg with an interesting adventure, to share.
I travel to the Bus Stop, the bus is already waiting for me. I board it. Singing high notes of Confidence all the way to my destination. After all the passengers had left the driver inquired about my destination. I stopped singing long enough to tell him.
"53 Aigen."
I had no idea what that meant, but I'm glad he seemed to. He drove there, silent while I continue my singing. When we finally arrived at Aigen, I got up and out into the road, singing with anticipation of my new job. I couldn't wait, I was going to show them! I jumped, and skipped and sung my way to the address marked "53"!
As I approached the gate, I noticed the Giant house, or mansion. It was so big I couldn't tell. It never occurred to me that they might be rich. I stood there for a moment, glued to the cement. In shock, I breathe heavily from the little dance and singing. I look the mansion over, it was glorious, so many windows! I gulped neverously, and opened the gate, which was twice the size of Nonnburg's Gate. I pushed through, not taking my eyes off that glorious wonderment. I close the gate, with my back.
I had to do it. Now don't worry everything will turn out all right in the end. I ran to the door, singing one last note! I rang the doorbell, next to the door. I slump against the house, taking a breath trying to compose myself before making my first impression. The door opened, and I stood up straight. Boy, that was fast! Smiling, I await the moment that will change my life, forever.
