Formula One Dreams

Dropped into the middle of a bustling city. Crowds rushing, ice-cold citizens as if vigor had been sucked out of their bodies. Sarah was not familiarized with the cosmopolitan city. However, her ambition knew no bounds. Even if each and every moment felt odd and unpleasant, Sarah would not give up on her dream to become an internationally recognized F1 driver.

Decisions were made and risks were taken. All to achieve her goals, despite her disadvantage, as she was a girl attempting to succeed in a male-dominated sport. Thus, Sarah had transferred to an unknown high school, in an enormous city. She lived alone, only with a dream to fight for.

It was a drastic decision. Nevertheless, Sarah’s inner strength increased day by day. For months, she had been seeking joy. Only driving could provide her delight. Therefore, the race circuit had turned into her home, her safe place. She put on her helmet, got into the car, and all of a sudden, the world around her froze, noises reduced, her eyes focused on the track.

Sarah locked her hands onto the steering wheel, released the clutch carefully and fled away instantly. Each move precise and elegant. The wheels were maintained in exceptional condition: no excessive breaking or inconvenient turns. Sarah was simply the best. A remarkable driver.

If only her talent had been recognized…

Time had gone by with loads of competitions won, a variety of medals and trophies sparkling on Sarah’s shelf. Formula One was waiting for her, but, unfortunately, Sarah got into a severe accident, which impacted her career drastically. The girl broke down in tears. She felt as if her efforts had been in vain… No hope remained in her soul.

Despite the destruction of her future, Sarah managed to find her inner happiness by surrounding herself with acquaintances who valued her, cared for her and lit up her days.
