Few days later...
The school day dragged on, and with no class ahead, Maria decided to take a walk alone to the game center.
It was one of her favorite places in the college, a space where she could think clearly without any disturbances.
Upon arriving, she noticed a few students sitting around, but what truly caught her attention was the college basketball team in the middle of their training session.
She found herself drawn to the intensity of their game... the swift movements, the precise coordination, and the determination on their faces.
Maria had always admired the team, not just for their skills but for their resilience. Their never-give-up attitude fascinated her. It was a trait she hoped to embody in her own life, given the circumstances she had been facing.
Lost in thought, she barely noticed when the coach blew the whistle, signaling a timeout.
