Maria’s life had never been easy.
Raised in poverty, she faced constant hardships despite her unwavering determination.
Her greatest mission was to ensure her son, Aiden, had access to the best education she could provide.
She worked tirelessly as a janitor for a cleaning company, often struggling to cover basic expenses.
With twelve-hour shifts becoming her norm, Maria sacrificed her comfort to feed and care for Aiden. When he was old enough, she enrolled him in a reputable boarding school outside the city.
Before he left, Maria reassured him with a promise: “I’ll work as hard as I can so you can go to college. You don’t need to worry, baby — I’ve got you,” she said warmly.
She kept in touch with Aiden as often as possible through heartfelt letters.
Years later, Aiden developed a passion for science and informed Maria that he had the chance to shadow a doctor — an experience that inspired him to pursue a career in medicine.
