Hace dos semanas atrás mientras paseaba con su hermana mayor, Samantha había visto un helado grandísimo y aunque no le llamaba la atención el dulce sin duda en este caso estaba haciendo que su mirada estuviera fuertemente apreciando como estaba colocado llamativamente en esa tienda, y como algunos niños disfrutaban de este en sus mesitas contentos.
Era un especial de helado que podías elegir en cualquier sabor y ella sin duda veía como en la vitrina estaban marcados el pistaches y el ron con pasas en esa lista de sabores sin duda ella quería un helado es más lo deseaba .
-" hermana..quiero un helado "-
Comento la dulce Samanta mientras señalaba hacia la tienda .
Su hermana por un momento quiso acceder pero al ver el precio vio que era muy elevado ..
-" Sam está muy costoso además está muy grande para ti ese helado "-
Trataba de decir mientras veía aquellos ojos brillantes que hacían los imposible por recibir un si
-" que te parece si hacemos algo ...Si sacas buenas notas en tus exámenes la próxima semana tendrás como recompensa ese helado que tanto quieres "
Por un momento dudo en aceptar ya que no solía matarse tanto estudiando en exámenes y tal vez un helado no era tanto para hacerla esforzarse, aunque una vez volteo y vio como preparaban para una señora uno tal cual lo quería vio directamente a su hermana .
-"¡acepto pero tendrá que ser como yo lo quiero!"
Y así mismo sin desaprovechar fueron días de fuertes estudios y cada que pensaba en abandonar recordaba el helado y rápidamente volvía a los cuadernos ..
La semana de examen llegó con mucha tensión para Samantha, sentía las horas entre cada materia eternas y los días para los resultados fueron como una eternidad ante sus ojos .
Y entonces los resultados llegaron y aunque el esfuerzo había Sido muy grande solo la mitad de las notas eran altas mientras las otras intermedias por lo que resignada a qué no tendría la recompensa por la que se había incluso trasnochado llegó a casa esperando un regaño de sus padres una vez mostrará sus notas .
Pero para su sorpresa su hermana que había visto todo su dedicación la esperaba con ese helado, el cual estaba en la mesa junto a una nota que decía .
"Buen trabajo te lo ganaste"
Samantha no entendía, ella pensaba que no le daría nada por sus notas pero su hermana la calmó diciéndole :
-" aunque no tuviste notas perfectas te esforzarse muchísimo y sin parar y eso vale mucho más que cualquier nota"
Por lo que ese día Samantha aprendió una lección muy buena y la hizo esforzarse más en sus estudios y no sería por alguna recompensa sino para demostrar que podía dar lo mejor de si y por su puesto disfruto como nunca de una dulce recompensa.
She'd been studying nonstop for several weeks, every subject, every math calculation, and even every equation, in order to pass with that coveted A grade. It was undoubtedly a tough exam season, one she normally wouldn't be putting so much effort into since perfect grades weren't as necessary. But this time, there was something that was making it all worthwhile, and without a doubt, that was putting her studies front and center.
Two weeks ago, while walking with her older sister, Samantha had seen a huge ice cream cone. Although the sweet treat didn't catch her attention, it was definitely making her gaze sharply appreciate how conspicuously it was displayed in that store, and how some children were happily enjoying it at their little tables.
It was an ice cream special that you could choose from in any flavor, and she undoubtedly saw how pistachio and rum and raisin were marked on that list of flavors in the display case. She definitely wanted ice cream, more than anything, she wanted it.
"Sister... I want some ice cream," said sweet Samantha as she pointed toward the store.
For a moment, her sister wanted to agree, but when she saw the price, she realized it was too high.
"Sam, it's too expensive, and that ice cream is too big for you," she tried to say, while looking into those shining eyes that were trying their best to get a yes.
"What do you think if we do something... If you get good grades on your exams next week, you'll get that ice cream you want as a reward?"
For a moment, she hesitated to accept, since she didn't usually kill herself studying for exams, and maybe ice cream wasn't enough to make her strive. Although once, she turned around and saw how they were preparing one for a lady just the way she wanted it, and she looked straight at her sister.
"I accept, but it has to be the way I want it!"
And so, without wasting any time, they were days of intense studying, and every time she thought about dropping out, she remembered the ice cream and quickly went back to her notebooks.
Exam week arrived with a lot of tension for Samantha. The hours between each subject felt endless, and the days until the results felt like an eternity before her eyes.
And then the results arrived, and although she had put in a lot of effort, only half of the grades were high, while the others were average. So, resigned to the fact that she wouldn't get the reward she'd even stayed up all night for, she arrived home expecting a scolding from her parents once she showed her grades.
But to her surprise, her sister, who had seen all her dedication, was waiting for her with that ice cream, which was on the table next to a note that said, "... "Good job, you earned it."
Samantha didn't understand. She thought she wouldn't get anything for her grades, but her sister calmed her down by saying:
"Even though you didn't get perfect grades, you worked really hard and tirelessly, and that's worth much more than any grade."
So that day, Samantha learned a very good lesson and it made her work harder in her studies, not for any reward, but to prove that she could give her best. And of course, she enjoyed a sweet reward like never before.
