| Paul and his dream continues |
47 years ago, Paul has visualized becoming an accountant and a writer. He knew his parents could not afford to send him to school to finish those courses he had wished for. However, he did not give up dreaming. In 1974, he was about fourteen years old and had just finished elementary; he decided to leave his parents.
For him, dreams are about the expression and visualization of solid thoughts, emotions, and ideas that signal what he wants and what he needs for his physical life. For him, dreams need physical works and effort. They can help him develop his future. He believes that dreams and the desires of his heart give him the strength to face the natural world of his choice to reach success in life.
Contrary to the will of his parents, Paul still had left them and lived the way he could have to. He said that living away from his family was not easy and productive. He had slept under pine trees robustly standing around their town plaza. He had used some old scrap cardboard and old newspapers as his gasket and bedding.

Sometimes, he had slept on the height of the tower of their town church. Other times inside the waiting shades and fish market along with other deserted children. He had become immune from the mosquitoes bites, salty smells, and the freezing darkness at night.
There were nights he was weeping, remembering his family but the homesickness for them did not change his decision. He made friends with those children who were also his age. He mingled with them like a family with the same fate. Thus, it became easier for him to be with them. The fish market was their source of living: The money they earned from working with market vendors was divided equally among themselves. (To be continued in part 3)
