Just Another Guy
A 23-year-old guy named Tommy Connolly is just like any other guy of his age group. Tommy is pursuing his studies at the University of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia. Alongside he is working as a part-time real estate agent who spends the remaining time, with his family, and friends. Keeping everything aside, he is always working hard for his hobbies-turned-to-passion. Everything seems to be like every normal guy’s life, isn’t it? But soon enough Tommy was about to take a huge step in his life that will make him stand far away from the line of ordinary people.
Above Average Athlete
Other than his hectic schedule, Tommy has been adjusting his hobby in between everything correctly. He manages all the fields perfectly, whether it be his work, studies or relation. This guy who is living an ordinary life is actually much more than that. He runs faster than most of us as his speed, hard work, and determination made him a professional runner. He already won awards at the regional level and his coaches are now looking forward to his participation in the international championships.
The Message
It was his loving younger cousin, Kiarna Chapman texting him whom he didn’t see for over a decade. She moved to Southport with her family and since then they both were out of contacts. Tommy was overwhelmed by his sister’s initiative to talk. However, it didn’t take long for him to understand that the situation wasn’t good at all with Kiarna. She was in a miserable condition. Tommy couldn’t leave her all by herself in the toughest phase of life for a valid reason.
Her Story
Instead of laying back with ease at home Tommy chose to go to Gold Coast and meet Kiarna as he couldn’t wait anymore. Tommy said, “I went and picked her up and she basically started telling me about her situation, which was hard for me to hear because she was my favorite little cousin when I was growing up.” Tommy’s great reunion turned out to be his biggest test of life.
Such A Sacrifice
Tommy was too close to becoming an international athlete when he gave up and decided to help his sister. People were criticizing Tommy’s decision as they said he is being emotional and doing a lot more than he should. He was blamed that he is not being practical but Tommy’s priority was taking care of Kiarna and her baby. Tommy has always given preference to his family and that’s what he was doing now. This affected his studies too for some time but he managed to bring it back on track. Eventually, his patience and all the extreme steps worked out.
