Clara felt a joyous thrill coursing through her as she walked to the podium. She couldn’t stop grinning; her cheeks ached. She felt light, almost weightless. The sight of her parents, beaming at her, only amplified the feeling.

She tapped the microphone, the sound a crisp crack against the murmur of the crowd. "Wow," she began, the word a delighted exhale. "Where to start?" She felt like she could leap up and down.
