"[...] You did it, Brie. You worked hard and did it. And maybe you didn't get chosen - because sometimes we work hard and someone still earns it more - but you grew, and you were brave, and you were so good. Don't give up on me now."
"I'm tired of trying," Brie admitted.
Ms. Santos nodded. "It can be exhausting. But nothing changes if you stop."
"It'd be easier, though."
"Would it be?" Ms. Santos asked.
No. It wouldn't. It would just keep hurting.
