A letter arrives. Lila’s scholarship application has been accepted, and she’s invited for an interview. She can barely believe it—this is her chance. She rushes to tell her best friend, and they celebrate together, both excited and nervous about what this opportunity means. The interview is scheduled for a few weeks from now, and Lila throws herself into preparing, rehearsing her answers, refining her portfolio, and finding ways to calm her nerves.
Her family, however, remains indifferent, viewing her efforts as a distraction from her “real responsibilities.” Their comments sting, but Lila is too determined to let them deter her. Her best friend reminds her of her worth, and together, they create a plan to ensure she can attend the interview without interference from her family. Their determination becomes a silent rebellion, a shared mission that strengthens their bond.
