As the semester progressed, Alex Sanchez felt more at home in the city. The bustling streets no longer felt intimidating; they were vibrant with opportunity. Each day was a new adventure, and he had his friends Emma and Ryan by his side. The trio had become inseparable, their bond growing stronger with each shared experience.
