OVERVIEW:1

This story explores the often-misunderstood concept of sacrifice — questioning who truly sacrifices and what it really means. It begins with a thoughtful reflection on how society frequently teaches us to sacrifice, yet seldom defines when and why we should. Through my contemplation, the story transitions into a heartfelt real-life encounter between two sisters, where the younger witnesses the quiet strength and emotional resilience of her elder sister.

When the elder sister gives up her dream of becoming an air hostess to fulfill her family’s expectations, she doesn’t express regret but instead finds purpose in her sister’s happiness and future. This act of selflessness becomes the narrator’s awakening — realizing that sacrifice and fighting are not always opposites. Sometimes, true strength lies in doing both at once.

The story concludes with a touching realization: those who sacrifice and fight silently for others’ dreams are not just brave; they are the unsung heroes of our lives — our elder sisters.
