I tried to forget that I had even dreamed of seeing my father again, and began to put my whole mind on going to college.

Now I am so thankful that I persevered and won the scholarship.

There were times when I was very unhappy over leaving the only home I had ever known, outside the orphanage.

Still I could not rid myself of the conviction that I had taken a step in the right direction.

Later, when I met you girls, I was sure of it.
