Entering the Darkness of Pain and Lies

By Ali

My eyes are filled with tears. I dont even know what to do anymore. His breath warms up my neck. I guess this is goodbye, I say. I guess so, he responds. I never thought this moment would come. Its the moment in which we are forced to say goodbye.

Will you marry me? he asks. Suddenly I freeze. I feel like everyones eyes are now focused on us. The sun shines brighter than ever this time of July. The strong breeze awakes me. Yes. Yes. A million times yes, I say sarcastically. I dont know if I meant it or if I was still in shock, but this is all happening too fast. He takes my hands in his. I promise I will make you the happiest woman in the world because you have made me the happiest man in the world. Uh-huh. I nod. He gets up and kisses me.

My American Dream

When I finally touched American soil, I had a dream. A dream my goals and expectations. A dream that one day I can become ever I wanted. I don’t ever want to be the kind of person that has an ordinary life and an ordinary family. I want to be someone that inspires people to bring out the best in life and let them know you can defenetly make it in America.

My dream is all about life and part of that is having an education. My dream is to finish high school, go to college, get a degree in criminal justice and go
