Ethan's victory in the debate tournament had given him a newfound sense of confidence and drive. He realized that he was capable of achieving great things when he put his mind to it, and he was eager to apply this mindset to other areas of his life.
He started to take on more challenging courses at school, diving into advanced math and science classes. His teachers were impressed by his dedication and natural aptitude, and he began to see himself as a top student.
Luna noticed the change in Ethan and was inspired by his drive. She started to push herself as well, taking on more challenging projects in her own classes and pursuing her passion for art.
Kaida, who had always been a bit of a goofball, began to take things more seriously as well. She started to focus on her studies and even joined a book club to improve her reading skills.
As they all worked together, the trio formed a study group, supporting each other through late-night study sessions and encouraging each other to reach new heights.
One day, Ethan received an email from a prestigious university, inviting him to participate in a summer program for gifted students. The program would allow him to take advanced courses and work alongside some of the best minds in the country.
Ethan was thrilled at the opportunity, but he knew it would mean saying goodbye to his friends for the summer. He confided in Luna and Kaida about his decision, asking for their advice.
Luna was supportive, reminding him that this was an incredible chance to grow and learn. Kaida was more hesitant, feeling like they would miss each other too much.
