A wave of frustration washed over Maria as she saw the grade. She threw the paper across the room, it landing near a box containing old photos. She opened the box, her fingers tracing the faded edges of a photograph of her and her sister. She remembered the sound of her sister's laughter, the taste of her favorite candy, and the comfort of the shared secrets. The weight of the moment felt heavy, and she wished she could turn back time and return to the carefree days of her youth.
