Kayla: It’s okay… You’ll do better next time.
[Hayley enter]
Hayley: [facing Kaylee] Ha! I heard that “someone” failed her test,
but it’s totally normal since you never studied. So I bet you will
fail this year.
Kayla: Excuse me? Mind your own business!
[Kayla and Hayley exit. Kaylee sat down on the stage, looking at the
test.]
Narrator: As the curriculum got harder, Kaylee kept failing her tests,
and she became more desperate.
[Kayla enters. Carrying some books]
Kaylee: [To Kayla] Why can't I get good grades? You keep getting full
marks!
Kayla: Kaylee, I believe that we are capable of achieving
extraordinary things. By embracing challenges, seeking growth, and
never settling, we can unlock our full potential and make a lasting
impact. You just have to work harder. You have to be a pursuer of
excellence.

one. It required dedication, discipline, and a willingness to step out

[Hayley enters]
Hayley: [walk by and be sarcastic] Wow what a nerd, can’t believe you
also study! But… I assume that you still can’t pass a single test even
if you studied. So good luck on staying in Form 1 this year.
Kayla: Hayley, get out of here before I make you.
Hayley: Ok! Whatever! Gosh… [roll her eyes]
[Hayley exits, looking annoyed]
Kayla: Kaylee, your relentless pursuit of excellence has not only
elevated your own life but has also inspired those around you. You set
the bar high and motivate others to strive for greatness.

we create a ripple effect that inspires others to do the same.
Together, we can raise the standards and make a significant
difference.
