Despite fears and doubts, a poor-ambitious incoming Grade 11 student wishes to study in STEM strand.
💉💉💉
Akira Dela-Vega wants to pursue STEM strand to provide her the basics of applied mathematics and sciences that she can use in her college life as she will be taking BS in Nursing. After living a life marked by heavy-hearted and made the decision to leave her family, she seeks financial assistance from her Aunt who doesn't acknowledge her as one of her relatives and pushes her to leave. She doesn't know where to go but she made her way and walked away. By unexpected chance, she met Mang Nestor, a jeepney driver who later helped her take to the school he referred to where it offers the things she all needed.
Everything was free---that was the reason which motivates her to go.
On her Enrollment Day, she knew something was strange and wrong, from getting her blood to get in and only 10 students to be qualified in that strand with a blood of Type A.
On that day, she collided with someone in the office--- Mrs. Lavender, a viciously-insensitive, dogmatic teacher and the owner of the school that is the scheme of it all. She will do everything just for her dying child.
What her heart not to calm down is the fact that... She passed without even passing her requirements.
In the long run of studying in the tranquil leafy boarding school, Akira sensed and discovered something weird, and her curiosity propels her to solve the mystery.
Whose dream will come true? The student's dream for her parent or the teacher's dream for her child?
