10 years had already passed so fast.

"Don't look tense.The consul might think you have other reason for going to the U.S. We've already submitted our invitation for our choir to compete at the International Youth Chorale Competition in San Francisco"said our leader.

  We're going to SAN FRANCISCO,CALIFORNIA,U.S.A for a choir competition and also I just want to go there because my of Mom.Because she was buried there. I'm so happy when I saw my paper was approved by the consul.I can now finally go to U.S.A!

While I'm walking home I passed by  in front of our old house I stare at it in a moment.. 

Mom, look at our house, the fruit of your labor in State.Although it's a bit old,It's beautiful to me.It's a shame the bank foreclosed on our house.Now we're just renting on a small apartment.

"Dad,Why are you scrimping on  your medicine?Your blood pressure might spike up again.And Dad you haven't been back to your doctor have you?"I said.

"Well, Because he wants to a lot of test on me.They're all expensive and Useless." replied Dad.

" I'm expecting a lot of money from the sale of my beauty products.You can used it for the test." Tiffany continued.

"And me Dad, I have Savings.Wait let me get--"

"Wait!You're both overreacting.I'm doing fine okay?And I don't need your money.Oh,by the way,how did your interview at the embassy go?" Dad asked.

"I was approved Dad!" I replied cheerfully.

"Really?" 

"Yes Dad!"

"Congratulations baby, You can go to the States now.That's Great!.Leah, I know you and Jigg's have been planning this for a long time now.Don't do any funny business over there okay?You're still young" said Dad.

"Hey Leah, I'm a single mom.It's a difficult life.Don't follow my footsteps" said Tiffany.

"Oh Goodness Sis,Dad, Stop worrying,I will behave promise!" I said.

"Someone's knocking.Open the door" said Dad.

"Oh, It's Jiggs!"

"Mr.Sol,Miss Tiffany,good afternoon to you"said Jiggs.

"Leah, Can we talk?" Jiggs continued.

"I've waited for you outside the embassy earlier.What happened to you?" I asked Jiggs.

"I go home!I was frustrated, because I was denied again!I've been denied by those consuls so many times"

"Jiggs,there's still next time.Like you said,Just keep applying until you're approved,so  just try again.There's nothing wrong with that."

"I just think it's a waste you won't be able to use your VISA." Jiggs replied.

"huh?Why?" I asked.

"I was denied remember?So you're going without me?Is that it?Leah,our plan is to go together remember?We will both work there together even if we start as illegal immigrants.We promise to stick together.So why are you leaving me now?"

"Jiggs we can still do that.I'm just going ahead of you"

"No!"

"Jiggs don't be like this.I can't miss that contest.Besides you know it's been my dream since we were kids right?"

"And what about me?So it's okay to leave me?Is that it?" said Jiggs.

"But you said you will be going anyway,remember?You said you've been petition by your mom"I answered.
