As summer break approached, the air at school was tense as final exam results were announced. Among the sea of anxious students, one stood out Ryu Ji-ho. His heart swelled with pride at seeing his dramatically improved scores, a testament to his tireless efforts and determination.
"Seventy-eighth!" he whispered to himself with a quiet sense of victory.
It wasn't just a number. Seventy-eighth place meant he had finally broken into the top 100 in his school, a feat that once felt completely out of reach. But deep down, Ji-ho knew it wasn't because he lacked the ability. In the past, he had simply never fully committed to unleashing his true potential.
"If I put my mind to it, I can achieve anything," Ji-ho mused, a small smile playing on his lips. His chest felt light as if it was humming with the sweet melody of triumph. Once again, he was reminded of the power he held within himself when he truly gave his all.
