One day, Cecile took her camera to school. She took about 100 pictures in every class. 

In history class, her teacher, Mr. Oona said, “Cecile, put your camera away, I am teaching the class.” But, Cecile did not listen, She kept taking pictures everyday in his class.

A few weeks later, Cecile walks into history. Mr. Oona looked like he had steam pouring out of his ears. Unknowingly, Cecile started taking pictures again while he was taking.

Cecile got a new yellow camera! “Oh, what will I name my new yellow camera?” Cecile exclaimed. Cecile looked around for ideas to name her new camera.

“Julia's Jewelry, diamonds, gold, ember, and more,” she reads. “Julia, yes! That’s the perfect name for my brand new yellow camera.”&nbsp;&nbsp;

Mr. Oona got furious, and walked up to her while pointing and said, “STOP. I’m done, you will STOP taking pictures in my class! You will never be a photographer, it is not possible for someone your age!”

Mr. Oona made a small grin and apologized too. “I’m so sorry Cecile, I should have never said that to you. I’m glad you're still standing tall, and you can be anything you want.” 

Then, Cecile pulled out her camera and asked, “Can I take a picture?” Mr. Oona smiled and said, “Only if you say, Cheese!”&nbsp;

Cecile cried her eyes out. She ran right home to see her mom at their computer. “What’s wrong baby,” her mom said.&nbsp;

Mr. Oona said I will never be a photographer, and he is right!” Cecile said.&nbsp;

“He probably had a bad day. You can be anything you want to be if you believe, just go talk to him tomorrow.”&nbsp;

On the morning of the next day, Cecile went right to Mr. Oona to talk to him just like her mother had said. He was sitting at his office with a stressful look on his face. 

“Mr. Oona, I’m sorry for all the trouble I have caused in your classroom,” Cecile said. “You told me that I should stop taking pictures, but I never listened. I’m so sorry.”
