Anayansi, a 12-year-old Emberá girl, traces English words in her notebook, dreaming of learning a new language. Her heart beats with excitement as she remembers her scholarship award letter, promising her a chance to study English in Panama City.

Anayansi waves goodbye to her family, her mind swirling with thoughts of the big city. She holds her backpack close, feeling both nervous and excited for the adventure ahead. The journey is filled with smiles, laughter, and the promise of new beginnings.

Anayansi marvels at everything around her, clutching her scholarship letter. She follows the signs to her new English school, her heart fluttering with anticipation. The school gate is decorated with flags, and friendly teachers welcome her warmly.

Mr. Luis, a young and enthusiastic teacher, greets everyone. He writes “Welcome!” in big letters on the board and invites the students to introduce themselves. "My name is Anayansi. I am from Darién," she says, her voice trembling but proud.

"Let’s play a game! Find the word ‘river’ and show us what it means," Anayansi jumps up, pointing to a picture of a river, and everyone cheers. She feels brave and happy, making new friends and sharing stories about her home.

Anayansi whispers softly, "Thank you for this day," looking out at the city skyline. She feels proud and excited for her new life, ready to discover even more, one English word at a time.
