Believing That You Can Believing That You Can
My Dream Came True
I am from Moldova. When I was little I wanted to come
to the U.S. My wife and I made a great effort for this dream
to come true. We were married in Moldova. We had a
beautiful wedding and I came together with my wife to the
USA. We have been here for almost 2 years. First, we went
to Orlando. We visited Disneyland. My friends said it is
one of the biggest attractions. We enjoy Disneyland. It is a
very happy, impressive, and unforgettable place. I made
many friends in Orlando. I spent a long time there.
Then I decided to visit Key West. I heard that it is a
very beautiful island. One day we went to Key West. It is a
small island. We like it and so we stayed there for a while.
Until today we are still in Key West. It's a tourist place. The
weather is always sunny. It feels like summer all the time.
Here people can have fun, relax, and rest. Every day my
wife and I go to work. After work we go shopping. We
enjoy going to the beach to get tanned and spend time
together. I am attending an English class now because I
need to speak good English. I would like to study in college
and have a good profession for my future. I want to be a
businessman. I hope to have a successful life.

The Person I am Today
Many people change throughout the years and many
people stay the same. I, for one, feel that I have changed. I
am not the same person I was ten years ago. Some people
mature and others just take a little longer to reach maturity.
Ten years ago I was forty years old; married, with two
beautiful daughters. I was very dependent on my husband.
I counted on his opinion for everything that I did. I did not
know how to drive back then. Whenever I wanted to go
somewhere with my daughters, I would have to ask him to
take us. I remember wanting to take my daughters to my
sister’s house in New Jersey and he refused to go. I could
have taken the subway or the bus, but I chose not to. I was
not an independent person.
