Suddenly, Kai Juan felt that his ambition was not too ambitious enough. When it came to his
turn, he blurted out that he wanted to be a teacher, to which the others agreed was a good
ambition. However, he did not rest well that night. He wondered what his friends would say if
they discovered his “low” ambition.

in the finals of various constituency events.
One evening at dinner, his parents told him that he was wasting too much time on his guitar

competition, which is the District Talent time. Jimmy feels trapped since he is the Company’s
representative at that competition.
