Scott paused, considering the question. "A little, yeah," he admitted. "I mean, it's a lot of responsibility, and I know there'll be challenges. But honestly, I'm more excited than anything. This is what I'm passionate about. I just want to make a real difference."
Alyssa smiled, her expression softening. "And you will."
Scott nodded, feeling a surge of gratitude for his friends. He looked down at the assignment memo again, the reality settling in more deeply with each passing second. This was his chance to step out, to do something meaningful, not just for himself, but for the people around him.
A thrill ran through him as he thought about the impact this initiative could have, the lives it could touch, the sense of purpose it could bring to everyone involved.
