Mila, a bright 12-year-old, dreamed of becoming a mathematician. Despite the hardships of living in a small town, Mila and her mother, Clara, never lost hope. Clara worked tirelessly as a seamstress to support them, and Mila, undeterred by long commutes, used her bus rides to study.
One cold evening, Mila stayed late at school for extra math practice. On her bus ride home, she noticed an elderly woman, Mrs. Thompson, asleep and confused. Mila missed her connecting bus to help the woman find her grandson, walking through the cold night.
After safely delivering Mrs. Thompson, Mila returned home exhausted but satisfied. The next morning, Clara received a letter from Mrs. Thompson’s grandson, offering Mila a full scholarship to a prestigious school. Her kindness had changed her life, bringing her dream of becoming a mathematician within reach.
