Emma’s radiant soul
Emma had always been the kind of girl who lit up any room with her smile, intelligent, kind and incredibly caring – qualities that seemed totally incompatible with such frequent suspensions. When Lisa hung up the phone, uncertainty took over her thoughts; Mark, her husband, was sitting at the kitchen table rubbing his temples, sharing the same feeling of confusion and disbelief. What could their daughter be doing to keep getting suspended?

Mark’s fatigue
“What now?” asked Mark, his voice heavy with fatigue and a hint of resignation. Lisa crossed the room and sat down next to him, shaking her head, both certain that the school’s arguments sounded empty and incompatible with the sweet girl they knew. Without concrete answers, they felt lost, as if they were hitting a wall that refused to reveal what had gone wrong – but giving up wasn’t an option.
