Mas pipiliin daw ni Juliana Gomez na maging isang varsity athlete at maging manlalaro para sa Pilipinas. Pero kung pumasok man siya sa show business, malamang umano na sa likod lang siya ng camera.
"At the most, before entering college, I really wanted to take mass comm (mass communication). I wanted to look into working behind the scenes, I wanted to take up film. Those were things that interested me. So if ever I entered show business, it would be towards that direction, not being in front the camera," sabi ni Juliana sa panayam sa kanila ng inang si Lucy Torres ni Nelson Canlas sa Chika Minute Exclusives.
"I never wanted to go abroad, because I had dreams of becoming a varsity athlete also in college, and eventually representing my country in whatever sport that I want to play," dagdag ni Juliana, na kasalukuyang nag-aaral ng Public Administration sa University of the Philippines.
Nang tanungin sa kaniyang mga plano pagkatapos ng kolehiyo, "I'm still figuring things out," ang sagot ni Juliana.
Pero plano daw niyang magpatuloy sa sports tulad ng fencing, at makakuha balang araw ng master's degree.
"I got into that and then I realized I really have a love for it still because that's something that I did even when I was younger. So I've just been training and I've been enjoying it so far and I definitely set bigger goals for myself," sabi ni Juliana.
Nirerespeto ni Lucy ang anomang karera na pipiliin ng kaniyang anak, at hindi nila gugustuhin ng asawang si Richard Gomez na diktahan ang anak pagdating sa mga pangarap sa buhay.
"In terms naman of choices that she makes or in terms of life in general, I always say Richard and I do not impose our dreams on her. Sabi ko nga, even before pa na 'yung dasal ko palagi is for her to be the person that God designed her to be, whatever that is," sabi ni Lucy.
"Whatever field that would be, I will not impose any dream on her because I believe that the only way any peron, not just Juliana, can have a beautiful life, if she is able to fulfill her purpose," dagdag ni Lucy, na kinatawan ng 4th District ng Leyte sa Kongreso.--FRJ, GMA News
