Will is a normal boy who lives in a normal house, in a normal
street of a city like all the others. He likes to climb on the roof of the
house, where he can spend hours and hours looking at the sky belly up. Will
loves to see how the sky changes as the day goes by. He observes the form oh
the clouds, sometimes they are condensed, sometimes more scattered…
The colors of the sky also vary, and his favourite moment is
when the sun sets, the cold and warm colors at the same time distract him from
his deepest thoughts. His head get lost between pink and purple colors.
Finally, when the night arrives he enjoys the company of the stars, they are
his best friends.
During the day, Will went to school but it wasn’t a school
like all the others, it was an adapted school, for children with disabilities.
Will can’t listen, can’t enjoy music, he is deaf, and that prevented him from
having good friends.
He always has been a solitary boy with a greatest desire of
going to space. His parents did everything that was in their hands to get their
son distracted. They took him to museums, and to observatories, but that wasn’t
enough to distract the boy from his main purpose.
One day, Leah the oldest cousin, found an ad where put: ”write us about your dream and if you have a
good reason to fulfill it, we make it real”. It was a contest. Leah wrote
to the newspaper about the dream of going to the space of her cousin, and the
newspaper selected they as winners. The company didn’t have enough money to manage it,
but they made the history of Will viral, so it reached the hearts
of many
people, who participated donating money to Will.
After four
months of tests and preparations, Will was already in Florida, waiting for the
rocket to take off. What he felt when he
saw everything from the special ship was indescribable. He was shocked and very
grateful to all the people who made it happen.
Finally his dream came true.
