Marsha didn’t know why… ‘cause she was just energetic and happy and liked to give compliments and be honest…. But then the new professors probably hadn’t learnt that about her yet. So, she gave the Professor another smile and let her leave the conversation at that. She liked making people happy.

Nodding her head, Marsha agreed with her. ”Definitely, but mostly I just need to keep up with my training - and so that I can continue to run with the clubs outwith school I need to keep up my grades…. And the grades will help me with University.” She couldn’t help but laugh slightly, she knew it sounded insane for a fifteen year old, but she just knew what she wanted to do with her life. Animals and Running. And Vince. Vince was a major part of everything now.

And just like Marsha had done to the Professor, the Professor gave her a compliment with little to no evidence of what she was saying - yet it made the Welsh teenager feel good, like she could do everything she hoped to do. Well, she knew she could - but at the same time life could be mean and she needed to find a way to stand out so that she would be able to complete those goals. She had time, but at least she was starting to get prepared now. So much to do and so little time. She cut across a few rocks so that she could lead the Professor on one of the side paths.
