A DREAM CAME TRUE

I remember when I was 10 years old, that my parents gave a great gift. They
gave me my first trip abroad. It was the happiest moment in my live until then. I
couldn’t hide the happiness I was feeling so I started to cry. That moment, my
mom hugged the and cried with me. She knew I had always wanted it. Then, my
dad, showed me where I was going to go, the place was Disney World in
Orlando, Florida. All the young girl dream became true. Next days, I made my
luggage, I put the clothes I needed and we took the plane to go there…
Everything was perfect until that moment, when we got there, we had some
troubles because my mom had lost her passport and international police at the
airport did not allow her to continue the trip. We found in all the luggage we had
brought and finally I realized she had it in the handbag. After that moment, we
took a taxi to the hotel, which was really amazing. And that same afternoon, we
went to Disney World. I had seen it in movies and videos, and I never imagined
it was such a beautiful place. I can’t describe all the things I did there, I just
have words to thank my parents for giving me two of the most special moments
in my life.
