The air crackled with a strange energy. Mr. Garcia had to keep himself from running around his classroom. A beautifully crafted guitar case sat on his desk. He opened it to reveal a brand new, custom-made guitar. A note from Mateo, a student who, by his own admission, had nearly given up on school, was tucked inside. It thanked him for believing in his music. He picked up the instrument and gently strummed a chord. The sound resonated in his very bones. A smile spread across his face, wider than he thought possible.
