    Her coach, Mark, was a strict but fair man. He was impressed by Lily's commitment but knew that the road to her dream was long and challenging.

    Back home, Lily's mother, Mrs. Johnson, knew about her daughter's dream and did everything to support her. She always encouraged Lily to work hard and never give up.

    Lily's father, Mr. Johnson, was a businessman. He taught Lily the importance of hard work, perseverance, and creativity. He would often say, 'The key to success is never giving up, no matter how hard it gets.'
