Ben felt a surge of exhilaration when he saw the email. His online coding mentor, Emily, was leading a workshop in town! He felt a strong pull forward. He started making plans immediately.

He spent the whole week preparing, doing extra exercises to be ready. He found himself humming as he went through his morning routine. The moment was finally here.

Emily smiled, "Ben! Ready to code?" Ben felt his pulse quicken. He could not wait. This was going to be incredible.
