Something like home

Sara's used to getting through the day unnoticed-moving quietly, speaking less, and feeling even less. But something changes when she steps into English class. Her new teacher, Mrs. Brianna doesn't just talk at them like the others do-she sees things. Maybe even sees her. With every conversation, every gesture of kindness, Sara starts to feel something she hasn't known in a long time: the possibility of being seen, of belonging. Slowly, through the smallest moments of care and connection, Mrs. Brianna becomes the first person to offer Sara a glimpse of home, a place where she isn't alone.
