Penny was determined and organized from an early age. She grew up in a poor family—her mother was a primary school teacher and her father worked as an operator at the local thermal power plant. Though they had enough for essentials, luxuries were unreachable.
Penny loved her parents dearly. Yet as she grew older, she developed mixed feelings about their lifestyle. She saw how they missed opportunities and seemed resistant to growth, mechanically going to their modest jobs, complaining about the government, and accepting their lot in life.
At times, she felt pity for them. But Penny knew one thing with certainty: she would forge a different path.
After completing high school, she enrolled in the economics department at the local university. By her fourth year, she had opened her own children's dance school, winning a city start-up competition that provided substantial municipal funding for business development.
Despite her youth, Penny recognized this as her golden opportunity and seized it wholeheartedly. She immersed herself in every aspect of the business—mastering the nuances, managing accounts, handling advertising, and promoting growth—all while completing her university studies. Sleep became a luxury during those demanding months.
Yet she persevered, earning her diploma while launching her business. After graduation, she could finally dedicate herself fully to her project.
She had dreamed of studying dance as a child, but her family couldn't afford the expensive lessons and performance costumes. This experience inspired her to secure sponsors who provided her students with beautiful stage outfits in exchange for advertising.
As an advocate for accessible education, she obtained subsidies enabling children from low-income families to attend free of charge. Many of these students became stellar performers who enhanced the school's reputation and served as living testimonials. Penny's innovative ideas for the school's development consistently bore fruit.
Seasoned business partners attributed her success to instinct, but the truth was simpler: she genuinely loved her work.
When Penny recognized the need to expand, she opened several satellite locations throughout the city. As her modest dance studio evolved into something bigger, she needed trusted support.
She appointed her childhood friend, Veronica, as director, fresh from her graduation from the Management department. Veronica possessed the same qualities that had driven Penny's success: organization, meticulousness, responsibility, sharp intelligence, and attention to detail.
Their similarities and long-standing friendship convinced Penny that Veronica, despite her youth, was ideal for the role of right hand. Most importantly, Penny knew she could trust her.
Veronica did prove worthy of her trust, diving into the work immediately. She spent late nights at the office, asking questions, reviewing documents, and mastering operations.
With more time to implement new ideas, Penny's business flourished. Within two years of opening her first school, she could afford a flat in an upscale neighborhood and a new car straight from the showroom.
She finally enjoyed life's pleasures that had been unreachable in her childhood—luxury resorts, designer clothing, restaurant meals. The latter became necessary as her busy schedule left little time for cooking.
Ten years after graduation, plans emerged for a class reunion. Social media made it easy to locate former classmates.
Penny looked forward to the gathering, proud of her accomplishments, which likely surpassed those of her peers. Some had once mocked Veronica for wearing hand-me-downs from her cousins; now they would see her transformed.
The reunion proved joyful and intimate, with genuine interest in reconnecting and reminiscing.
The former classmates discovered that most of them had married, many with multiple children. Proud parents shared photos of their little ones.
