The Global Technology Forum sit.
or GTF
was a summit held once every three years. All nations around the world participated in
This summit was like the Goringos of the technology industry and also the highest stage for scientific advancement.
In just a few more minutes, our research would be revealed to the world. It would receive global attention and give countless paralyzed individuals the chance to walk again. The thought of this filled my team with excitement and joy.
Mr. Holland was also in an unusually good mood today. The laidback old man had even forwent his usual casual attire and donned a suit and tie.
We were about to go on stage and present our findings.
Mr. Holland was so emotional that his eyes reddened with unshed tears.
Patting my shoulder, he said, “I knew you could do it, Emi. I knew this day would come. You’ll be able to connect with even more brilliant scientists through this summit, which will help you progress even further.
“You’ll soar farther and higher in the future and become even better. So, cherish this moment–use the talent you were blessed with and your relentlessness to reach the pinnacle of success!”
Mr. Holland was absolutely overjoyed today. He was happy that I had come this far and that I didn’t give up on myself. He was proud that I hadn’t thrown away my potential and was standing where I was always meant to be.
It was just as he had predicted. Soon, I would surpass his achievements and become one of the brightest rising stars in the technology industry.
I didn’t know what to say. All I could do was hug Mr. Holland as my eyes teared up too.
I wouldn’t be where I was today if it weren’t for Mr. Holland’s unwavering support and belief in me.
Mr. Holland had saved me, so I would live up to his expectations no matter what. I would cherish my god–given talent and continue to work hard to create something of even greater value.
I was going to give back to Mr. Holland, my country, and society.
My team cheered me on before I went on stage.
“You got this, Emilia! We’re counting on you to lead us to new heights!”
My seniors hadn’t taken me seriously when I first joined the lab. They all believed I had gotten into grad school through my connections. It didn’t matter to them how outstanding I had been in the past as it wouldn’t be relevant since I had spent four years as a housewife.
In fact, they wouldn’t have bothered to acknowledge me if I wasn’t the research lab’s biggest investor, However, their opinions gradually changed over time, and they slowly accepted me. And after the success of our experiment, they now practically worshipped me.
We had spent over a year together, facing hardships and overcoming setbacks. We shared moments of both joy and sorrow. Thus, we had become almost like family. With their encouragement and enthusiastic cheers, I walked onto the stage to introduce our research.
As technology continued to advance, summits like these were no longer just for media photos and recordings for later reports. This year, GTF was also streamed live on television networks and social media platforms.
I looked out at the audience. There were thousands of attendees from all over the world. There were also countless journalists and cameras on me.
It was as though the world’s gaze was fixed on me. I chuckled internally at this.
