From his cramped desk in the library, Liam stared at the online essay. He'd poured his heart into this, and now, he was seeing it again, like some kind of rebirth. He leaned back in his creaky chair, a smile blossoming on his face. The air around him felt lighter, less oppressive.

He thought of the future, a horizon bursting with possibilities. He thought of his parents' reactions. They would be so proud. He closed his eyes for a moment, and saw himself, finally, fitting in. He opened his laptop, and began to research scholarships.
