The professor, Dr. Abernathy, called out her name in class. "Congratulations, Amelia! Your essay has been chosen for publication." Amelia felt a chill run down her spine. Publication? She had written that essay with passion, with hope. Now it was a public display of her shortcomings.

Amelia gathered her things, avoiding Dr. Abernathy's gaze, and walked away from the room. She would be skipping class.
