I groaned in frustration as the relentless alarm clock pierced through the tranquility of my room once again, demanding my attention every five minutes. Despite setting ten alarms, hoping to compensate for my innate resistance to mornings, my new job required me to rise early and be punctual. With a heavy sigh, I reached out my arm from beneath the warm blanket and forcefully silenced the alarm, tossing it aside. Reluctantly, I peeled myself away from the cozy embrace of my bed and stumbled sleepily toward the beckoning bathroom.
As I embarked on this journey of early mornings, I couldn't help but reflect on the struggles I faced in my teenage years when rising early seemed an insurmountable task. However, the passage of time had granted me wisdom and transformed my life in unexpected ways. While my surname still tethered me to a wealthy family background, life had been a stern teacher, imparting invaluable lessons along the way.
