#WOTD Weeks 1 - 4
It had been a long day at work, and Elena’s feet were sore after standing for hours. To make matters worse, she had to drag herself through the rain to catch the last bus home. Normally, she wouldn’t bother anyone for help, but tonight, she decided to call her friend Jake for a ride.
Jake was a bit fussy about his schedule but agreed to pick her up. On the way home, he reminded her that she still owed him dinner for helping her move last month. They joked about splitting the cost of a parking fine they once shared after parking in a no-parking zone.
When they arrived at Elena’s house, she said, “I fancy a warm meal right now. Want to join me for some takeout?” Jake smiled and agreed. They chatted about how their favourite cafe had decided to ban plastic straws to be more eco-friendly.
The conversation turned to trends, and Jake mentioned the latest TikTok fad, a peculiar dance involving umbrellas. They laughed, realising how some things catch on and fade quickly, much like their shared adventures.
Elena was grateful for Jake’s friendship and his thorough support in her life. Even after a tiring day, the little moments made everything feel lighter.

With the project deadline looming, Mia found herself working late nights. The only drawback to this extra effort was missing out on her family dinners, something she valued deeply. Despite the challenge, she was determined to overcome the obstacles and submit her work on time.
One evening, while checking the news, she noticed an alert that stock prices for her favourite tech company were about to plummet. Worried, she thought about whether it was likely a good time to sell her shares or if the warning was just another hoax.
As she mulled over her options, she accidentally spilled her tea on a pile of important papers. Frustrated but keen to stay on track, Mia cleaned up the mess and refocused her efforts.
Later that week, after successfully meeting her deadline, she treated herself to the purchase of a new gadget she’d been eyeing for months. For Mia, the hard work and sacrifices were worth it, as she felt she had conquered yet another challenge in her life.

Emma had been looking forward to her camping trip for weeks, but the heavy rain threatened to spoil her plans. By the time she arrived at the campsite, her tent was set up, but everything felt damp and messy. Despite the challenges, Emma’s determination was remarkable—she managed to light a fire and cook dinner under a makeshift canopy.
The next morning, she woke up early and headed toward the riverbank. It was roughly a 20-minute walk from her campsite, and she was eager to enjoy the peaceful sound of the water. Once there, she decided to claim a quiet spot to meditate.
In hindsight, she realised she should have checked the weather forecast before the trip, but she was too focused on making the best of the situation. As she cleaned up the area, she noticed some people had dumped trash nearby. Emma sighed and gathered the litter, knowing it was the right thing to do. Her friends often said she was the most trustworthy person they knew, and she wanted to live up to that reputation.
By the end of the trip, Emma thought, “This has been a bloody tough adventure, but I’ve loved every second of it.” Climbing the steep hillside to watch the sunrise on the last day felt like an incredible feat of strength and patience. It was an experience she would never forget.
