P3.instances[0].transcript.parse_transcript_data({"transcript":"Hi, my name is Claudia, and I come from Portugal. And I've chosen to do an Artist Comprehensive Diploma in Penn Foster, and I'm very happy I made it. The past I've been doing compared to where I am now. I did basic school. I did art school in my country, Portugal. And eventually, I decided to enroll in the Artist Comprehensive course in Penn Foster, because I did actual exhibitions, and I did my first one in 2003. And I thought it would be interesting to do an art course. And I loved it! They send you the materials. They send you everything, like oils, acrylics, canvas. They send you China inks. China ink pens. A lot of stuff, that I think the course is not too expensive for the quality it has. And I have an instructor to help me all the time, if I need it. And I graduated in 2013 my Artist Comprehensive course, which is my vocation. Although, it's too bad that art doesn't feed us enough, so I work as a forwarding agent part-time. When I was a little girl, I wanted to be a dancer. But things were tough in that time, and there was no money for me to go out to learn ballet. So I just dedicated myself to draw and ink, and all that stuff that they teach us in school, in my elementary school, in Ricardens. And I just thought, I want a future of awareness and taste for plastic arts. And today, I am a plastic artist. I think that schools should promote more plastic activities, probably more than studying activities, because they are both important, that they should both be practiced. On this interview, I have told you that I'm an artist, that I work as a forwarding agent, and that I did an Artist Comprehensive Diploma, and that currently, I'm studying a Bachelors in Science and Business Management. As you can see, I never stopped pursuing my dream. Not that I'm a very big person, or an important person, but that doesn't matter. What matters is what you build in the present, and what you crop in the future. Because everything is like planting a tree or a flower. It gets under the earth, and after, it blossoms. And that's what I do. I do, for example, I do a service. And it might not be so good at the same time but it can be famous after I die, or centuries and centuries after I die. Or I try to get a client for my forwarding agency. And then, you won't be my client that same day, but after two, three, four or five years, he comes to the agency, because he has my contact. So never stop pursuing your dreams, and never let yourself down. Even if you can't get to something at some point, but you will get it. I know it. You can get there.
