"I am absolutely a huge fan of your mom! Do you think you could bring us a signed photograph next time? It would mean the world to me."

Hattie was thrilled to hear this. "Oh, don't mention it, we're all pals here. I'll definitely introduce you to them later!"

Gillian added, "You know, having close pals is crucial for a better tomorrow. We're really lucky to have friends like Lena and Hattie, it's like a blessing for us!"

Hattie confidently interjected, "For those from less privileged backgrounds, chances to thrive are few. Some are already lucky to share our classroom. They might not even be on the same path as us in the future!"
