Burning Desire

I cannot contain the desire I have within me. The yearning to go to China consumes my thoughts everyday and every night. You can only imagine how the news I heard today devastated me. "Unqualified" is what they labeled me. The mission will not even give me a chance to prove myself. I may come across as a small, weak woman, but I am sure that the strength of my passion can sustain me through great hardship. If only the board could see my inner strength.
Whatever they say, I will move forward. If the mission will not send me, I will work hard and pay my own way. I do not have any contacts there as of yet, however I am hopeful that a way will open up for me. I heard of a job opening on 26th street which I will look into in the morning. Perhaps I will be able to sleep tonight even though I am plagued with visions of Asians.
