"It was a lot of effort to achieve this, which I am grateful for each one of you Facebook friends for always supporting my food," Korinna Hernandez announced on her Facebook page this week. "Dreams come to true. Glory be to God. People who are working hard, keep fighting. I wish God listens to them, with all my heart, just like mine."
