Chapter 1 To be successful
On a Friday Mr. Martin, a university lecturer known for his wisdom and strong moral values, calls Samantha into his office. This is not the first time he has called students in for advice-he has done so many times before, always trying to guide them with his words of wisdom.
As Samantha enters his office, Mr. Martin studies her for a moment before speaking. His voice is calm but firm.
"Samantha, success has nothing to do with arrogance. You may think that shutting people out and carrying this cold attitude will protect you, but in the end, it only isolates you. Life is about more than just proving yourself. It's about connection, understanding, and knowing that strength isn't in pushing people away but in allowing yourself to trust again."
Samantha listens in silence, her expression unreadable. She has heard many words of wisdom before, but something about the way Mr. Martin speaks lingers in her mind.
Later, Samantha sits alone at her desk, as she always does. Her withdrawn and distant demeanor discourages others from approaching her. She has spent years enduring bullying, and the pain of those experiences has shaped her into someone who prefers isolation. Now, in her final year of university, she feels relief that she will soon leave it all behind.
Despite Samantha's closed-off nature, Alice, one of the only two people who truly understand her, cautiously approaches. Alice and Meagan have always been there for Samantha, though they often struggle with her unpredictable moods.
"Sam, how are you feeling today?" Alice asks gently.
Samantha lifts her gaze, staring at Alice with a cold, unreadable expression. She says nothing. Alice, understanding what this means, remains quiet as well. The rest of the day passes in silence, with no one daring to disturb Samantha, waiting for her to speak first.
As the day ends and students return to their residences, Samantha finds herself alone in her room. She stares at the wall, reflecting on her actions. A wave of guilt washes over her as she thinks about how she treated Alice earlier.
"I'm sorry for being horrible to you today, Alice," she whispers to herself.
Her mind drifts back to painful memories-of friendships that ended in betrayal, of trust that was broken time and time again. These experiences have made it nearly impossible for her to let anyone in. But Mr. Martin's words echo in her thoughts.
"Success has nothing to do with arrogance. If not then what is to be successful ",Samantha asks herself
She wonders if he might be right. If, perhaps, her walls are not a sign of strength but of fear. Yet, after everything she has been through, is it even possible to change? She thinks to herself
