    Sava, a 6-year-old boy, felt a knot in his stomach each morning when it was time to go to school. The towering building, the noisy classrooms, and the crowded playground all terrified him. He would cling to his mother, his big blue eyes filled with tears.

    Each day his mother would gently pry his fingers off her arm, assure him that everything was okay, and watch as he slowly walked towards the school. Sava would glance back at her multiple times, his face a mask of fear.

    However, one day, something extraordinary happened. As Sava was sitting alone in the playground, a ball rolled towards him. He looked up to see a group of kids around his age looking at him, waiting for him to throw the ball back.

    Among them was a boy named Jamie, who had a friendly smile and sparkling blue eyes. He asked Sava if he wanted to play with them. Sava hesitated, but then picked up the ball and joined them.

    Sava found himself having so much fun that he forgot to be scared. He laughed, chased the ball, and even scored a goal. The other children cheered for him. He felt a sense of belonging that he hadn't felt before at school.

    From that day on, Sava looked forward to school. He was no longer the scared little boy clinging to his mother. Instead, he was the first one out the door in the morning, eager to meet his friends.

    One day, a new girl named Mia joined their class. She was quiet and seemed as scared as Sava had been on his first day. Sava remembered how he had felt and decided to help her.
