“Being a doctor is all I’ve ever wanted since I was a kid, there’s never been a second choice for me. I don’t just look at it as becoming a profession but rather becoming my life. This passion that I have inside of me to help people heal not only physically but also in every aspect of their well being is something I consider as a precious gift anyone could ever have. I’ve been through a lot in my life just to get where I am right now and I know that getting this scholarship program is the opportunity that I’ve been waiting for but I can assure you, if you choose me you’ll get every worth of your penny and you won’t ever regret your decision”

Lisa—Tell me how you feel now that Bette is not here

Tina—I’m not gonna lie, aside from my daughter she’s another reason why I came to this place. She’s another reason why I want to become a better person; it’s hard enough that my daughter is not with me but Bette being a hundred miles away is equally difficult.

Lisa—Did you tell her that before she left?

Tina—No

Lisa—Why not?

Tina—What for? To guilt her into not taking this great opportunity for herself? I’m not gonna fucking do that to her! I’ve done her enough damage and stopping her from pursuing her dream of becoming a doctor is something that I will never do, even if it means that I will not see her again.

Lisa—I want to ask you this and its okay if you are not yet ready to answer

Tina—What?

Lisa—Are you in love with Bette?

“Ms. Porter congratulations for coming this far of the screening process. Now we will go over everything from your academic records as well as the result of the examinations, this same goes with the other six applicants and expect the result by next week,” Harvey Gump said

“Thank you for having me here, it’s a great honor” Bette said as she shook hand with Harvey Gump

Kathy Valero walked closer to the brunette and smiled “Don’t thank us Ms. Porter, it’s all you why you are here, not because of us”

“Thank you ma’am!”
