On this lovely sunny day, I was looking out the window and I dream about lots of things. One of the things is about a dream job, getting married, having cute kids and being stable. But there are times when I feel that maybe I'm not ready yet because dream job and marriage, they all require a lot of commitment and responsibility so it is not something that you can automatically do. Also, I have a school project called my personal future and I have to present to the class about my personal future, So I realized that I need to think deeply about my future, but I don't have confident and inside my mind, there was a part of me that want to achieve my goals and another part of me that was unsure if I can really do it or not. So I wasn't sure how to be confident about myself and how to find my personal path.

The next day, I went to the park. It was a nice clear sky, with flowers blooming. It was really beautiful! So I brought my own lunch and blanket to sit in the grass. Also I saw an orange tree and it looked so delicious so I decided to pick some for my snack time. And when I was walking to a different orange tree, I saw this strange orange. It wasn't a regular orange color. It was a soft orange color, which looked very enticing. Also there was only one in the tree, so I thought I was lucky. And after picking the orange, I went back to my seat. And I peeled an orange. After eating oranges, I started to get very sleepy so I fell asleep.

Then, when I woke up, I was at this mystery place, where there are many roller coasters and different activities. The sky was blue and full of rainbows. Also there were flowers everywhere blooming like a diamond. Also the place looks very peaceful, and winds were really nice. So I got very surprised so I pinched my face to see if I was dreaming or not, but apparently I was not dreaming.

Instead, my face turned red. So I was so confused about why I ended up here. So in order to find out where Iam, I went exploring this mystery place. While walking I saw this amusement park and it looked fun, so I decided to go there. And when I entered there, I realized that there was no one except for me.

And someone tapped me on the shoulder and said do you want to play with me? And I was like no thank you. Right now I'm trying to find out where this place is. And he said I can show you around so he held my hand and he kept dragging me. And I got scared and tried to fight him, but it was no use.

Then next there was one guy that fought him and helped me escape from the strange guy. He said to stay away because she is my customer. And I was like I'm his customer? And the strange man ran away. And the guy that helped me said who are you and why did you come here? And I said hi my name is Reina and thank you for helping me earlier. And I don't know how I ended up here and I'm really confused. And he said oh so you are the confused lost princess. And I was like I'm not lost it just that I don't know why I'm here. And by the way I'm not confuse lost princess. My name is Reina.

And he said from now on your nickname will be confused lost princess. And he said in this world everyone needs to have a nickname. And I was like why princess? And he said my name is France and I'm a kind of a fairy that helps guide people to the right path. And I was like are you sure you are a fairy?

Because you don't look like it. And you look more like a human. And France said I changed myself to human temporarily so you won't be scared as much. And plus I don't have interest in helping you anyway. And I was like well I'm not asking for your help anyway and I was just wondering how to go back to the park. And France said fine. And he sounded like he was so grumpy or something. And he said follow me I will show you around because I feel like if I leave you here then you will be a target again. And I said well you said you don't want to help me. And France said well it is my job to help someone like you so follow me. And I said okay.

After that we went to the park and he said this is the place you go when you feel like you are lost or you don't know what to do in life. And I've been helping people be on the right track but there is one thing you got to be careful of. Do not play in this amusement park because once you go on any ride, then you will be addicted like the person earlier. I used to help him but he didn't listen so he ended up being addicted to these rides and lived here for almost 10 years. And I was like oh no! And he said if you want to go back don't go on these rides and you are allowed to be in the other park. And I said How are you going to help me? And he said go inside this pit hole. And I was like wait why? And he said another rule is don't ask any question. You just do what I say okay? And I said ok.

And as soon as I said ok to France, I entered the pit hole and I felt like something was very light and very mysterious. And as I fell deep inside the hole, I thought about my life in general and what I was thinking.

Then when I woke up, I saw a bunch of people working in this factory.

And I asked what kind of job is this? And one lady said this is a textile cotton factory and you process this cotton to make fabric. And I said Why did you decide to do this kind of job? And she answer it by saying at first I didn't know what to do in life and I remember that in college I was very pressure that I need to get a stable job before I graduate and so I was the type of person that want everything like dream job, a nice husband and cute kids and live happily ever after like a movie.

But while graduating from college, I started to be scared about whether or not I could find my dream path so I came here one year ago and the fairy named France helped me to think deeply about myself. And realized that I want to improve myself more so I can be a better person and be a person that can contribute something to society so I asked France to let me stay here for one and half years to help me train myself more.

And I said "wow!" It's cool that you know what to do because currently I'm in the same situation as you. I'm also the type of person that wants everything all at once and I want to get a stable job early and hopefully start my ideal family with my future husband. And when I think more and more I start to be scared about my future and wondering if I can achieve my goals. And she said "I don't think you don't need to achieve all your goals all at once". Because for me as you can see I'm still growing and improving myself so I can help out my own community so I'm trying to get any experience I can get. So basically I didn't achieve any of my goals but I'm happy right now. And I said why? Don't you feel frustrated that you are far away from achieving your goals?

And she said "in the beginning I felt that way but I feel that sometimes it is important to do things at my own pace because everyone is different". There are some people that are faster than others so basically everyone has their own pace so it is good to work at your own pace and believing in yourself is very important.

Because if you believe that you can do it then you will be more confident with yourself. And also my advice is to sometimes close your eyes so you can come to your senses and can see what you should do.

And I feel that everyone has their own feeling of which one is right or wrong so it is important to choose your path because it is your life and it is only you that can change your own fate. Also it is good to do things step by step because nobody is not perfect and not everyone can do things all at once.

And I said "wow your words are very inspiring"!. I feel much better! I feel very light too! And she said that's good because I wasn't sure how to comfort you but this is basically the things that I have experienced so far. And I feel like you should go back because you don't belong here. You are still young and have a bright future so go up this ladder.

And I said well France said to come here. And she said I think he wants you to learn something from me. So I feel that you gain confidence so go back to France because I bet he is waiting for you to come out. And I said "thank you so much!" And what is your name? And she said "my name is Emmy". And if you need anything just ask France because I will be staying here for another 2 months. And I said "thank you so much Emmy!" I hope I can see you again! Bye!

In the meantime, I climbed up the ladder and I saw this sunshine in my face, shining like a star.

And when I arrived, France was there waiting for me. And I said sorry to keep you waiting. I didn't know that you let me talk with someone that has the same experience as me. And France said did you learn something? And I said yes I feel like I learned something but it's just that I don't know if I can do it or not and still thinking of what to do. And he said ok I feel like you work hard enough so you will be staying at this hotel called Star in room 423.

And I said thank you!! And he said make sure you go to the right one because if you go to the wrong one then you will not survive and will be stuck there forever understand? And I said ok so it is the yellow star one. And he said yes so go because right now many gangsters are out there walking around so this is the right time to go to the hotel and rest. After that, meet me at the park called Future is dark. And I said "ok!"

An hour later, I started walking toward the hotel. I realized that there are people out there that are trying their best to become a better person and constantly trying to improve themselves. And I thought to myself wow! I have to think more about what I want to do.

And in the evening, I arrived at my hotel room, and I fell asleep.

After a few hours I woke up and realized that I have to meet France. And when I left my room, I realized that there are many strange rooms. And I thought to myself wait , this is weird. This hotel is like a maze. When I first came here it wasn't like this. And I became very panicked and confused because me and France made a promise that we will meet at the park.

But as I was walking, there was a weird gangster coming toward me and said hello princess you came here to see me? And I was like no. I was wondering where this place is. And he said this is a hotel called Star with the red mark.

And I was like what!!! I thought this hotel was called Star with a yellow mark. And he said oh I know the reason because a few hours ago someone was repainting the building but they realized that they were painting it yellow so they had to go to the store to get the right color.

So I was like oh maybe that's why I thought this hotel was Star with a yellow mark. And he said "it is okay for people to make mistakes". And he said since you can't get out, let's play together. And I said sorry I'm not interested. I made a promise to meet with France so I have to go. And he said "you can't leave". Did you hear from France that once you step into this side of the group then you can't leave here forever. And I was like what? What do you mean?

He said I've been living here for 10 years And even since I stepped in this hotel my everyday life has become very fun and can't stop. So it's okay you will get used to it here. And I was shocked. I thought I was careful enough. What should I do? France is not here and I'm stuck with the gangsters.

And the gangster started dragging me so I fought and ran as fast I could. And no matter how far I ran the room was endless. There was no exit and full of misery. I can see the darkness coming toward me and the atmosphere is getting heavier. And I stopped for a moment and realized that oh no what should I do? And I started to lose hope.

And suddenly, there was one girl and she came to me and said, Are you okay? And I said no I'm stuck here now. I should have been more careful and listened to France more.

And she said oh so you are the lost princess. Hi my name is Francilla, and I'm france's sister. And I was like oh really! I made a promise with your brother to go to the park but I apparently ended up in the wrong hotel and can't get out of this hotel.

And she said what do you want to do? And I said I want to get out of here. And she said no not that. Why do you want to leave here?Because this world is basically made up of dreams and desire. And I was like what do you mean? She said it means that if you really wish to leave here and go back to your original place then you should truly wish that to happen.

And I was like so my wish came true? And she said yes because people here have lost their hope and dream and that is why they are stuck here. But for your case, I think it is not too late. I can tell that you have the will and hope still so why don't you think deeply about what you really want to do and why you want to leave here. Once your mind is set then close your eyes, so you will see whole new things.

And I said ok I will try. And once my mind was set, I closed my eyes. While closing my eyes, I feel that something is supporting me but I wasn't sure.

Then, after that, I woke up and I was outside. I was able to escape from the hotel! So I ran as fast as I could and went to the park but there was no one there. And I thought to myself that maybe I came late so maybe France is angry at me. Oh no!! What should I do? I promised him and I broke his promise. Now I will be stuck here alone and will be kidnapped again by one of the gangsters. At that moment I started to lose hope and then I saw France walking here and when he arrived at the park he didn't say anything and he just stared at me.

And I said sorry I was late. I thought you were mad because you helped me a lot and I feel like I betrayed your trust. And I thought you would leave me alone here. And he started to laugh. I already knew that you will be late because I knew that you are a very clumsy person and also you will go to the wrong hotel. So good thing I sent my sister there because she does martial arts. And I was like then why didn't you help me? I thought your job was to help me?

And he said I was just testing you. I wanted to know if you made up your mind or if you grew a little bit. Also I wanted to know your strong mind too. And I was like what!! I was so scared. And he said did you learn something from my sister? And I was like yes and maybe? I think I learned about how it is important to stay strong.

And He said ok.

So the final question is have you thought about what you want to do? And I said not sure but I feel that I should do things at my own pace because everyone is different. And he said no, you're not really feeling it because I know that you are thinking about something else.

And I was like how did you know? And he said because I'm a fairy and I have the talent to see human's feeling. And I said my real feeling is currently I'm not sure about what I really want to do but I feel like I want to do it step by step growing myself first and gaining some experience is important before accomplishing my goals. And also I realized that I don't need to accomplish my goal soon, and I feel that it is important to work at my own pace and believing in yourself is important.

France said I know you will say that! And I feel like you already know what to do and I feel that you have a bright future ahead of you so I think you don't belong here. And I was like then why did I end up here? And he said did you eat the strange orange in the park? And I said yes and it was very delicious. And he said that's why. Because those oranges are very rare so normally people who are unsure about their lives then people tend to find that orange.

And I was like that is why I came here.

And after he said it was a really nice experience spending time with you because it had been a long time since I helped a girl so I was a bit nervous. And I said really? I feel that you were like a professional fairy.

And he said that was good. And he blushed. And I said even though it was a short time, I feel like I learned a lot about myself and I am truly grateful that I got a great experience. And also I was glad that I was able to meet a nice fairy.

He said "I'm glad and I also feel lucky to meet a nice hard working person like you. And I said thank you! I feel like you helped me a lot and I don't know how to thank you.

And he said it's okay you don't have to thank me. If you want to thank me then show me your strong will and show me that you can achieve your goals.

And I was like that all? And he said yes because I love seeing people be successful in life because it means that my job was successful.

And I feel like I was able to improve or grow myself too while spending time with you! And I said thank you! And he said close your eyes. And I said why? And he said close your eyes for 1min and I said but why?? And he said remember the rules. Don't ask questions, just do what I say. And I said okay.

And that evening, I closed my eyes and at that moment, I felt very light and it was a feeling like flying in the air but I wasn't sure. And also I felt something warm and felt like I'm covered with a warm blanket.

And next afternoon, I woke up, there were kids playing in the park and I thought to myself what had happened to me? And I don't remember falling asleep. And I thought to myself why I was sleeping? And I feel like I'm tired. And I'm not sure why but I feel like I have lots of confidence now. And then after that I cleaned my lunch and realized why I peeled an orange? And then I went back home.

The next day, I had to attend a meeting for one of my classes. And I was so nervous because I had to present my project on my personal future, and then from yesterday's jacket I found a letter.

And when I read it, it was from a fairy called France. And as soon as I read it, it made my eyes tear up. I started to remember everything from yesterday and I wanted to see him so badly so I went outside. As I was gazing through the sky, I could feel that France was looking and supporting me by saying you can do it.

And then after reading a letter from France I went to the school and did my presentation on my project on personal future.

After my presentation was finished, I felt really relieved. I was really nervous but I was able to present it with the help of a fairy who gave me confidence. I felt really grateful that I was able to meet the fairy and I was able to see things that I never saw before. And then after the presentation, I realized that I want to help other students who are struggling with their goals or do not have confidence about themselves, so I have decided to apply for the student career center job position at my college.

It won't be easy because I have training that I have to go through, but I feel that there are many students like me that are also struggling like me so I want to help them succeed in life too.

While walking back home, I gaze through the sky and even though France can't hear me, I said to him that "I was able to do my presentation on my personal future! Thank you so much! And I decided to apply for a student career center to help a student like me! There will be other challenges but I will show you that I can do it!

And there was a message saying good for you! I will always be there for you no matter what!

At that moment, it made me cry in tears and wanted to see him badly and another message said that don't cry. I know you are a strong girl and no matter what I will be protecting you from the sky.

And he said be happy no matter what and do the things you really love. And I felt really happy and I felt relieved by his words.

Then at that moment, the wind blew like a tornado and all the leaves gathered and made a shape of a heart. And inside the heart message, there was a box. And inside the box there was a really beautiful ring and inside there was a paper and it said that this is a special ring from me, and it is especially hand made just for you. And this ring can protect you from any danger. So if you feel like you are lost or something then put this on. It will give you energy. And I put it on. And this ring was shining like a star and also very elegant and stunning. And by wearing this ring, it gave me lots of energy. And after that, the message disappeared.

The next day, it was another sunny morning. My life has been very different ever since I met a wonderful fairy. I started going to training for my student career center position. I have been going to training almost everyday. There are times when it is difficult, but I alway say to myself that I can do it. As I was looking at the sky with my ring on I thought to myself that even though I can't see France anymore but I feel that we both are working hard together in another part of the world, toward our goal and responsibility and no matter how hard life can be, it is always important to believe myself and realized that I don't need to achieve my goals yet, I can do it step by step!
