 Some
kids seem to be born doctors, or teachers, or even
comedians. Alex was born to be an engineer: his
analytical mind, keen interest in technology and
ability to concentrate on most complex
mathematical problems all seem to point out to
that.
Alex was asked to draw a reachable dream, so he
has drawn five bicycles, one with himself on it,
and four others just for fun (or maybe waiting for
his friends). He has also written up a short
commentary:
 "Since
childhood, I wanted to have a bicycle. There was
just once bicycle in my life I could call my own,
but it was stolen. I used to go to a summer camp
which had a bicycle club called "Seven
Winds." We not only rode our bikes, but also
made repairs and often modernized them. We also
learned how to ride safely on a busy road with
lots of cars. Now I live in an orphanage and
cannot have a bicycle, but I continue to dream
about it. This sport strengthens our health,
especially in our kind of ecology. So I dream
about a bicycle and I ask my dream to come true
for me."
We thank Lawrence D. from Ozark, AL, for granting
Alex's wish.
Update: the orphanage director has informed us that an American family has adopted Alex and given him the most precious gift of all -- a home and a family.
