*Chapter 3: A New Path*
Alex's therapist, Ms. Thompson, helped him identify his strengths and weaknesses. She encouraged him to explore his interests and find healthy outlets for his energy. One day, while cleaning out his room, Alex stumbled upon an old camera his parents had given him years ago. He hadn't touched it since childhood, but something about it drew him in. Alex started snapping photos of everything around him, experimenting with angles and lighting.
As he developed his photography skills, Alex discovered a new passion. He began to see the world in a different light, capturing moments and beauty that he had previously overlooked. Photography became his escape, a way to channel his emotions and creativity. Alex joined a photography club at school, where he met like-minded people who shared his enthusiasm. For the first time, he felt like he was part of a community that understood him.
With his newfound passion, Alex started to focus on his studies. He realized that photography required more than just a good eye; it demanded technical knowledge and creativity. Alex devoured books on photography, learned about composition, and practiced editing software. His grades began to improve, and he started to see the value in hard work and dedication.
