EP1: "Little boy... wake up. Today, we're going to school."

Every morning at around seven, a woman walked to the same house and gently knocked on the door.

"Little boy... wake up. Today, we're going to school."

The boy slowly got out of bed. He hadn't been to school for almost a year - not because he didn't want to study, but because he was afraid. Afraid of falling behind, being scolded by his teacher, and being laughed at by his classmates.

The woman never began by saying, "You have to go to school."

Instead, she made sure he knew he wasn't alone.

She took him for a haircut, helped him bathe, found him a school uniform from a neighbor, prepared everything he needed, and walked to school beside him.

When they reached the school gate, the boy stopped. He lowered his head, ashamed that he had been away for so long.

The woman didn't pressure him or criticize him. She simply stood beside him and said,

"Let's go together."

That day, the boy walked back into his classroom.

In the next episode, discover why this woman never gave up on him.
