The soft hum of the train leaving the station made Eldo recall the desire that he and his wife had to raise their son in the United States, a land of opportunity. This idea lingered in their hearts, so, they envisioned Worcester City where their son could chase his passions freely. a place where he could thrive and grow.

While watching his son taking a nap, he also recalls how much they worked tirelessly since he was born on March 12, 1985. They worked together hand in hand to create a life they could be proud of, they shared a determination to open a school business, and they ran it for almost ten years, so, they saved enough money to move to the United States, to fulfill their dream to bring up him in a better country.
The little boy wakes up and gaze  at the passing world, grey skyscrapers giving away to white hills and bare trees.
