Violette Jules held the microphone in her hand and bowed deeply to everyone, full of apologies.
Tears and joy sparkled in her eyes as she said, "I'm leaving the entertainment industry, not on a whim, but as a well-considered decision."
"I will return to the swimming arena I love so much, rejoin the national team, and continue my training. If the opportunity arises, you might see me again, but it would be on the competition field."
Her crisp voice, laced with sobs, rang out in the gymnasium, reaching every corner.
Violette's eyes were filled with smiles and hope. Returning to the national team, and immersing herself in the profession she loved, was something she had longed for.
The scene fell silent as everyone gazed at the girl on stage, genuine admiration welling up in their hearts.
To forsake the glitz of the entertainment industry suggests that Violette must truly love sports and swimming.
Someone couldn't help but sniffle softly.
