I'm still outside.I still want to feel the fresh air of america.Then suddenly I just remember Mom.I look up into the sky.

This is the same feeling you had when you got here,didn't you,Mom? It is exciting,kind of overwhelming, I can't even describe the feeling.Back then,I can only see this in pictures,and on postcards you send.But now..Now I'm already seeing it personally.It's so beautiful Mom.I miss you so much.But I'm closer to you now.

After that I already enter the house of Mr and Mrs Lorenzo.We stay there for a while while we're here in San Francisco.

"Leah, Are you okay?"asked Mrs.Lorenzo.

"I'm more than okay Ma'am" I answered.

"Do you liked it here?'' She asked again.

"Very much,Mrs.Lorenzo.Thank you for letting us stay here.How long have you been living here in the states?"

"18 years.It was difficult at first.I had to work really hard.But the hardest part is the loneliness of being away from your family" Mrs Lorenzo said.

"You're amazing.You were able to handle it on your own?" I said.

I suddenly get teary eyes.

" What's wrong Leah?"asked Mrs. Lorenzo.

"I just remember my mother.You're so alike.She went here for us.But It wasn't a happy ending for her.She died here.The reason why I really wanted to come here was so I could fulfill our mother's dream for us.And I hope,I get to carry it out." I said while tears are falling in my eyes.

Mrs Lorenzo Hold my hands.She comforted me.

"Why not?This is America.The land of opportunity.You don't wait for dreams to come true.You work for it.I'll go up now." she said.

"Thank you Ma'am" I said.she pat me on my shoulder.

"Dreams wait for me a bit.I'm almost there.Just a bit more."I mumbled.

I'm on Skype wit Dad.

"Hello Dad!How are you there?"

"Were okay here dear.How about you?How is your experience there?" asked Dad.

"They're so kind Dad!They taking care of us here!"I said.

"Well obviously I can see it on your looks"said dad.

"Leah is it nice there?" asked Tiffany.

"I didn't explore that much but our place here where  we stay is so beautiful!"I said.

"Do you already know the grave of your mother?" asked Dad.

"Not yet Dad.But tomorrow Mrs. Lorenzo will help me go to the cemetery."

"Just always take care there okay?"said Dad.

"Don't worry Dad.I'm okay here.I'm taking care of myself.They also taking care of us.Don't worry too much.Love you Dad.Love You Tiffany.Bye-bye."

The next day we have our choir practice.After the practice I head out of the apartment.When I'm already outside someone's called me.I think she's familiar.It looks like I just saw her somewhere else.

"Hey Leah? Are you Leah?" asked the woman.

"Yes Ma'am." I answered.Then she hugs me.

"Is it you Ms. Jacqueline?" I asked.

"Yes.I am!The Mother of Jiggs."

"Oh..I just thought because I saw some of your pictures from Jiggs.I'm not mistaken.How did you know that I'm here?"I said.
