Xiao An Finds Her Confidence Again

Описание: Xiao An was a quiet little girl.
Her parents often scolded her, saying, “You can’t do anything right!”
Those words weighed on her heart like heavy stones.
Slowly, she stopped speaking up and lowered her head all the time.

At school, her classmates didn’t want to play with her.
Some even laughed at her silence.
Xiao An felt lonely and invisible, as if no one liked her.

One day in art class, the teacher noticed Xiao An sitting in the corner, carefully drawing a big tree.
The teacher leaned closer and smiled.
“Xiao An, your drawing is wonderful. Would you like to join the art contest?”

Xiao An was startled.
“Me? Can I really do it?” she thought.
But the trust in her teacher’s eyes gave her the courage to say yes.

At home, she practiced secretly after school.
Even though her parents never encouraged her, she told herself,
“Just a little more effort. I can do this.”

On the day of the contest, her colorful painting was hung on the wall.
The audience clapped and praised her work.
For the first time, Xiao An felt warmth shining inside her.

From then on, Xiao An dared to smile and even made new friends who loved art too.
Later, when her painting was displayed in an art gallery, a bright spotlight lit up the canvas.
Her eyes sparkled just like the light.

Xiao An finally understood:
Even if others once doubted her, as long as she finds her passion and works hard, she can transform pain into strength—and shine in her own way.
