I HAVE A DREAM!

Elsa da Silva Laperle

 

After I finished High School in my country, Brazil, I trained to get into college. I trained for one, two, three years and finally I got in. I was very happy, I couldn't believe I did it.

Months after, my two best friends were ready to come to the USA. They had been my friends for more than fifteen years, so how could I be without them. After thinking about it, I decided to put my dream on hold and came with them in December 2001.

I have been here for four years, many good things happened to me but, I always had in the back of my mind, my dream. When I began my ESL class I spoke to the director about my dream, she said it was possible.

After that day I started to take my English class very serious. I have been working on that for years. Today I have my application at college for 2006. When I will finish I don’t know, but one thing I know, never give up on your dream, believe in yourself, it doesn’t matter what your dream is.
