In our lives we meet a lot of people who have a significant influence on us. We can call them heroes or role models, but the point is that they impact our lives and smooth the way for us.
I consider myself lucky. Ever since I can remember, I’ve been surrounded by amazing people in an atmosphere where I was encouraged to dream big. My parents always supported me, my mum wanted me to graduate and get a decent job so that I could provide for my family. Words cannot express how much they mean to me.
Beside my parents, my mentor, who has become a good friend by now, helped me find my path. My hero story is about him. Music has always intrigued me, so when I started going to a camp as a teenager, I met a lot of exceptionally talented people there. One of the music mentors in the camp was Máté Kovács whom I’ve always admired for his talent. We practiced a lot and he wanted us to make progress individually, too. We made music together, we chose and orchestrated the songs together, he listened to everyone’s opinion and paid attention to us. Accepting his suggestion, I started to play the bass guitar, and since then, as a bass player, I could take the stage with his band. Last summer we led a music group in a talent development camp together, that’s how I became a mentor from a mentee.
Working together he always told me to strive to achieve as much as possible in life, but never forget to give thanks for what I have. Still, that’s the life I lead. I owe him a great deal: both musically and personally. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t live in Budapest now and wouldn’t have gone to university. I am grateful for developing my musical skills, beginning a new life in the city. We’d need more people like him. I thrive to pass on the help I’ve got from him one day.
