The moment the MC announced her name, a wave of heat washed over Maria. The room seemed to tilt slightly. She took a step toward the stage, her legs feeling like lead. A kaleidoscope of faces blurred into a single, overwhelming mass.

She remembered her mother's words: "Just speak from the heart." Easier said than done. Her heart felt like it was doing somersaults in her chest.

She had rehearsed her speech a dozen times, but now, the words seemed to have vanished from her memory. All she could feel was a crushing sense of… pressure. She wanted to scream.
