Its been three years since i came here. I am working day and night to make my mother proud and also support her. I regret things but not as much. I also met a guy with olive skin and dark eyes named Joel. He claims it was love at first sight but i hated him at first sight. He stepped on my mop when i was cleaning the library one day. I was very irritated but he apologized and even helped me with dusting the books as an apology. That's when i realized he was the one for me. Anyways now I'm graduating and i got a scholarship from yale and i plan on accepting it. But i would leave joel behind. I regret falling for him because now i will leave.

After i had left joel had followed me and we ended up getting married. Now we will have a baby after six months. My mother would be ecstatic. After we landed we went straigt to mama's house. And she was so happy to see us. She was overjoyed at the idea of being a grandma. And she gushed at how my dad would be proud of me. At that moment I've thought all my life I've had regrets but all of them turned out to be joyful regrets.
