He refused—not because he couldn't do it, but because he was afraid. He had spent years believing his dream was already dead; returning to it felt dangerous. What if he failed? What if people laughed at him again? What if he discovered he wasn't as talented as he remembered?Katerina didn't pressure him. She simply told him that being afraid didn't mean he wasn't capable.A week later, Andre agreed. The conference became the most important professional opportunity of his life.On the first morning, he walked into a massive hotel ballroom wearing a simple dark suit borrowed from a friend. Around him were executives, diplomats, lawyers, and business leaders. Everyone seemed confident; everyone seemed important. Andre felt like an outsider.Then the presentations began. A German executive spoke first; Andre translated. A French representative followed; he translated it. Italian, Portuguese, Mandarin—one language after another.The room gradually became quiet. People stopped looking at his clothes; they started listening to his words. By the end of the first session, several executives were asking who he was and where he had trained.But the greatest surprise came during lunch: Katerina approached him. She apologized—not casually, not because someone had told her to; she genuinely apologized for the way she had treated him that first night. She admitted that she had judged him because he was wearing a waiter's uniform.Andre accepted her apology, but he told her something she would remember for the rest of her life: he said that the uniform had never been the problem; the problem was believing that a person's value could be measured by the job they performed.Katerina nodded. She understood.A few weeks later, Andre received an offer from Katerina's company to join their international relations department. The position would allow him to use all seven languages and continue his education.He hesitated. Leaving the restaurant felt frightening because it had become part of his life: he had friends there, he knew the routines, he knew what to expect. But then he remembered his mother's words: "Education is something nobody can take away."
