PLOT
17 year old Zack watches his friends run on the running
track sitting on a wheel chair wishing to get back his
ability to run that he lost during an accident. He starts to
doodle on his notebook and later creates extremely
mesmerizing drawings. His friend comes and sits next to him
and starts talking to him. He tells her how he had the
accident. *Flashback*. During their conversation the friend
peeps into the main characters notebook and sees his drawing
and compliments his unbelievable talent that he never even
thought he had. His friend explains to him that art was his
path to succeed in life. A few months later, his paintings
are up for an exhibition.
Moral: “The only thing that stands between you and your
dream is the will to try and the belief that it is actually
possible.”
