Narrative Essay by Cristina Olmo

WHERE WOULD I GO?

If I could go anywhere in the world, I would like to leave it. If I could do anything in the world, I would look for my freedom. If I could, every time I watched the clear sky I would run away so fast until I could fly. And then I would ride the sky like an eagle. In fact, I wish I were an eagle. I would spread my wings and I would fly around the world, going further than ever before, searching for the truly freedom that I have never found. If only I were an eagle, I would have the possibility to find the happiness.

But I am still a human. And I cannot fly because I have no wings. I cannot be free because I am not a wild animal. And I cannot find out the happiness because I am not a free soul.

Anyway, I won't lose my hope. I will continue waking up every morning and I will continue watching the sun rising through the window. Because I won't stop dreaming about it. Because, maybe, one day, I will be able to make my dream come truth.
