Once upon a time, in a small town lived a tall, thoughtful girl, who was one among six children. Despite her affection for her siblings, she was unsure of her future.

After high school, she decided to go to beauty school. However, she found the long hours of standing overwhelming. Looking for a change, she started a limousine service.

Her limousine service was a success, ferrying people to airports and into the city. But with time, the traffic took a toll on her, prompting her to sell her business.

Seeking a fresh start, she enrolled herself in college. Her curriculum introduced her to a literature class that required reading with children.

In class, she was assigned a young boy who struggled with reading. Everyday, she would sit with him, helping him read. Within a month, the boy started reading independently.

Their success was a turning point for her. The joy they shared was something she wanted to replicate. She realized her calling was to help children learn to read.

With a newfound purpose, she pursued her studies with a renewed passion. She dedicated her time to learning the best techniques to teach reading.

Her dedication and hard work paid off when she graduated from college. She was ready to put her knowledge into practice and make a difference.

She began her journey as a teacher in a local school. Here, she was able to touch the lives of many children, helping them learn to read.

With every child that she helped, her belief in her mission strengthened. She was making a difference, one child at a time.

As years passed, she became a beloved figure in the school. She was known for her ability to help even the most struggling students learn to read.

And so, the little girl who once didn't know what she wanted to be, found her purpose in the smiles of children who learned to read. She was a teacher, and she couldn't have been happier.
