Because I was smart, I knew where I had to go, and because I still had friends, there were people who could help me. Because I was patient, I knew what I had to do. Because I had traveled a hard highway, I was prepared for the worst. Because I could never know how close they were, I took precautions; because the road was not straight, I took care to be careful. It took a long time; it took many tears and many prayers. I was alone for a long time, but that did not matter. What mattered was that I would one day be free."
