In a small town nestled between rolling hills and vast open skies, a young girl named Mia gazed out of her bedroom window every evening. The sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink, and Mia felt a stirring in her heart. She often heard the phrase, "The sky is the limit," but to her, it felt like a cage, a boundary that confined her dreams.
