The blood rushed to Liam’s cheeks as he read the email. His essay, detailing his journey to learn to play the cello, was chosen to be an example. He sat, utterly motionless for a few seconds before letting out a joyous cry.

He had to practice. He had to show everyone, prove everyone wrong. The melody he chose to play filled his apartment with a feeling of purpose.
