❝ Thanks to this adventure, I realized that some people can become scared when you’re not exactly like them. At first, they treated us a bit coldly because we were so different, and they couldn’t really understand us, which made them feel suspicious. But guess what? We showed them what we’re made of, and they finally understood our differences weren’t scary at all. And then, boom! They were all friendly and nice again. It’s just that people need time to understand each other.❞
❝The most important thing I learned from this adventure is to never lose faith in ourselves! There was a moment when I was about to give up, but thanks to Liam’s incredibly motivating speech (seriously, it was amazing!), I found the strength to continue. I had almost lost confidence in our ability to succeed, which definitely would have led to failure. But, hey, we believed in ourselves, and that made all the difference!❞
