The girl started to write screenplays as she transitioned from middle school to high school. She wrote about everything she could think of. Meanwhile, her savings from jobs and gifts continued to pile up. She had a little more than half the amount she needed to go to California.

Her birthday was coming up, and her parents had realized how hard she was working. They decided to give her something that she really wanted. They surprised her with the rest of the money for her trip to California. She thanked her parents profusely, and called her aunt. Her aunt told her how excited she was, and that she could spend the summer wit her in California.
