It was during my childhood days that I started dreaming of mostly anything that may give me a good life when I grow up. I made up my mind to become a successful Civil Engineer someday, to have a nice & good family of my own, to marry the girl I fell in love with and to be able to go and stay in America.

The first three dreams I was able to fulfill except the last one wherein I'm still trying to get this dream come true. I have been in so many countries but America is the place I really want.

I had a pen pal before and she was an American woman. I got her name and address in one popular magazine. She was 48 years old when I personally met her in the Philippines. I was then 22 years old and she treated me like her own son. She came to Manila to marry the man who she really loves. We lost contact only the time they were both in the states to live happily ever after.

I was still a bachelor then and my intention was to get married to an American lady. But that plan was later stopped when I saw the grown up lady whom I fell in love with. We had four siblings, two lovely girls and two handsome boys.

I've tried so many times to do any possible ways to be able to go to the United States of America but all of those failed. But still my desire to go to America is still there and will never disappear.

I was just saying myself that maybe that time has not come and later I may be able to go to America the place I really like. I just don't lose hope that someday this dream will come true and how it will come I really don't know.

Others may say that forget it and some people would say go & fight for it. But few would say try to fulfill your dream in any way that you can as long as it is legal.

This is one of my dreams and I feel the same as you feel and this is the reason why until now I still not surrender about this particular dream. I know that God will help me fulfill my childhood ambition one these days.
