"It's so emotional. You work so hard to get here and sometimes you work as hard as you can and things do not happen the way you want, you know? And you do not know if the hard work will pay off. It's paying now. It's just surreal. It looks like a legitimate dream. … I feel in a dream and I do not want to wake up. "
