David let out a shout that echoed through his quiet apartment. His essay, the one about his passion for restoring vintage motorcycles, was in the online application guide. He had spent hours crafting that piece, pouring his heart and soul into every sentence.

He threw his fist in the air, a triumphant gesture. He then paced the length of his living room, a smile plastered on his face. The air crackled with a newfound energy.

His phone buzzed. It was his father, already congratulating him on the text. David could not stop smiling. This was the moment that would define the rest of his life.
