Greenhouse Academy: Sophie's Fall

The rest of the Assembly

Sophie was overwhelmed at how much each and every person in her school thought about her.

Cole spoke, "Now we have a poem written by both the houses."

Ravens- In shadows cast on cliffs so steep,
                   Where life and death in balance teetered,
                   You faced a chasm, wide and deep,
                   But now, Sophie, your spirit's rekindled.

Eagles- The edge of fate, you dared to dance,
                 With darkness close and hope so thin,
                 Yet destiny gave you a second chance,
                 To return to us, your kith and kin.

Ravens- A phoenix born from the abyss,
                   Your journey's tale, a testament,
                   To courage, strength, and life's sweet kiss,
                   We welcome you back, our dear friend, content.

Eagles- Though near death's door, you've found your way,
                 Back to the light, to sun and sky,
                 In your return, we celebrate today,
                 With open arms and tears in our eye.

There was lots of cheer as they concluded, a symbol of ravens joining hands with eagles in the face of adversity.

Mia spoke up, "For the final performance, we all know that the captain has an interest in Hindu Mythology. Preserving that fact, a play has been scripted about the fight on top of Ryan's crater"

It was a good warrior dance play that depicted the Ravens and Eagles as two sides in a war, where Sophie stood as Mata Durga trying to bring peace between them, ultimately sacrificing herself to achieve her goal.

After looking at the performance, Daniel asked, "Ok. Who wrote that?"

Hayley agreed, "Yeah. Sophie and goddess Durga? You should have seen her that day on the cliff. She was nothing like the play." 

As the applause and laughter filled the assembly hall, Sophie walked up to the podium, her heart full and eyes shining with tears of gratitude. She looked out at the faces of those who had supported her through thick and thin. "Thank you," she began, her voice steady with emotion. "I am so grateful for each and every one of you. I am truly blessed to be a part of this incredible community. You've shown me the power of friendship, and I couldn't ask for a better Greenhouse family."

The assembly concluded with a standing ovation, a testament to the love and unity that defined life at The Greenhouse. Sophie's return had not only rekindled their spirits but also reinforced the bonds that would carry them through any challenges the future held.

It was a day of celebration, a day to honor the resilience of a remarkable leader and a day to showcase the extraordinary talents and unwavering support of The Greenhouse family.
