A Difficult Decision
Standing at the train station, Sara could feel her heart pounding faster with every passing second. The sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows over the noisy, bustling platform. Clutching her ticket tightly, her mind whirled with worry and longing.
A letter in her bag weighed heavier than anything she carried—her dream university had accepted her, but it was far from home. Her younger brother, Ben, needed her. Their mother worked double shifts since their father had passed away. Sara had always helped: preparing meals, helping with homework, comforting Ben through sleepless nights.
Now, standing between staying and going, Sara faced the hardest question of her life: follow her own dream, or stay for her family?
An announcement echoed: “Train to Melbourne, departing in ten minutes.” Her fingers trembled; she could almost hear Ben’s laughter and their mother humming in the kitchen. Tears prickled her eyes.
Sara breathed deeply, remembering her father’s last words: “Take the path that makes you proud to look back.” Fear gripped her, but she stepped forward, heart aching.
With a final look at her town, she boarded the train, whispering a silent promise to come back—to help, to love, to make her journey matter not just for herself, but for them all. The train pulled away, carrying Sara—and her difficult decision—into the unknown.
