Scene: A Quiet Park in the Evening

(A young boy, Alex, sits on a bench, looking at his phone. An older woman, Mrs.
Carter, walks by with her dog, stopping when she notices Alex. The dog barks
once, then settles.)

Mrs. Carter: Good evening, young man. What brings you out here so late?

Alex: (looks up nervously) Just… thinking.

Mrs. Carter: Thinking about what?

Alex: (shrugs) Stuff. School, friends, life.

Mrs. Carter: (sits down next to him) Sounds like a lot for someone your age.
Want to talk about it?

Alex: (hesitates) Maybe. It’s just… everything feels so hard sometimes.

Mrs. Carter: (smiling kindly) I know the feeling. Sometimes, talking to


someone can help.

Alex: (looks at her, unsure) You think so? Even when people don’t really
understand what you’re going through?

Mrs. Carter: (gently pats her dog) It’s true people don’t always understand.
But sometimes, just saying the words out loud makes it feel a little less heavy.

Alex: (frowning) I guess… but what if you feel like you’re just going to mess
everything up no matter what?

Mrs. Carter: (tilts her head thoughtfully) We all feel like that sometimes. Do
you know what I do when I’m afraid I’ll fail?

Alex: (curious) What?

Mrs. Carter: I remind myself that mistakes are how we grow. Every time I fail,
I learn something new. And if I keep trying, I’ll get better.

Alex: (softly) That’s hard to believe.

Mrs. Carter: (with a small laugh) It’s true, though. I used to be terrified of
talking in front of people, but now I teach classes at the community center.
You’d never guess it, would you?

Alex: (looks at her in surprise) You? Nervous?

Mrs. Carter: (nods) Absolutely. But I kept practicing, even when I thought I’d
never get it right.

Alex: (pauses, then nods) Maybe I could try that too.

Mrs. Carter: (smiling) That’s the spirit. And remember, you’re never alone in
figuring things out.
