Kenize was a brilliant 12-year-old girl living in London. She excelled in every subject at school and was always the first to answer the teacher's questions. But Kenize felt lonely. Her classmates didn't visit her anymore because she often boasted about being the best. Her latest project was building a robot to keep her company.
Kenize's mom often had to video message her to remind her to come down for meals. One evening, her mom said, - Kenize, you need to learn to work with others. Kenize shrugged and replied, - I don't need anyone else's help. I can do it myself. She was determined to finish her robot, even if it meant doing it alone.
Kenize faced her first obstacle when she realized she was missing a crucial part for her robot. - Oh no, where is the servo motor? she exclaimed. She searched her room frantically but couldn't find it. She felt a pang of worry. Without the servo motor, her robot wouldn't be able to move.
Kenize decided to visit the local electronics store to find the missing part. At the store, she bumped into her old friend, Mia. - Hi, Kenize! What are you looking for? Mia asked. - Just a part for my robot, Kenize replied curtly, avoiding eye contact. She didn't want to admit she needed help.
The store didn't have the exact part Kenize needed. - We can order it, but it will take a week to arrive, the shopkeeper said. Kenize felt frustrated. - A week? I can't wait that long! She left the store feeling defeated. The robot project seemed to be slipping out of her grasp.
Back at home, Kenize tried to improvise with the parts she had. But nothing seemed to work. - Why can't I make it right? she muttered angrily. Her mom knocked on her door. - Kenize, dinner is ready. You can't solve everything alone, you know. Kenize sighed but didn't reply. She felt like giving up.
Kenize stared at her unfinished robot, feeling hopeless. - Maybe Mom is right. Maybe I can't do this alone. She remembered her mom's words about working together. Kenize decided to invite Mia over. - Hey Mia, can you come over? I need help with my robot, she messaged. She waited nervously for a reply.
Mia arrived the next morning, smiling. - I'm glad you asked for help, Kenize. Together, they started working on the robot. Mia had some great ideas. - Why don't we try this? she suggested. For the first time, Kenize felt the joy of collaboration. - This is actually fun! she admitted.
With Mia's help, they managed to find a temporary solution for the missing part. - It works! Kenize exclaimed as the robot took its first steps. They spent the whole day programming and testing the robot. By evening, the robot could walk, talk, and even play games. Kenize felt a sense of accomplishment she had never felt before.
Kenize realized the wisdom in her mom's advice. - Thank you, Mia. I couldn't have done it without you. Mia smiled. - That's what friends are for. Kenize learned that being smart wasn't just about knowing all the answers. It was also about sharing and working together. She wasn't 'the one and only' anymore, and that was okay.
