The cleaning lady’s daughter was made fun of by her rich classmates, but she arrived at the prom in a limo and surprised everyone.

Kirill yelled, “Hey Kovaleva, did your mother really clean our locker room?” As they waited for Sonja’s response, the class fell silent.

“Yes,” she said coolly. “School maids are what my mother does.”

Kirill scoffed. “Did you bring her bucket and mop to the ball?”

There was laughter. Sonja took her backpack and walked away in silence. She was accustomed to it. She knew money meant everything ever since she transferred to the prestigious school on a merit scholarship, and she didn’t have any.

Nadezhda, her mother, supported her education by working three jobs. Sonja concealed her part-time job at a café from her mother in order to spare her more anxiety.

Kirill once cruelly wagered that he would publicly apologize if Sonja showed up at the school ball in anything other than a taxi. When Sonja heard him, she recognized a chance.

But renting a car was out of the question given her meager income. Disappointed, she persevered through yet another exhausting day until destiny intervened.

A generous luxury car dealer who worked for her mother saw her tenacity and discreetly offered assistance.

An elegant black limousine arrived on the evening of the ball. Sonja left, composed and at ease.

Kirill’s arrogant look disappeared. She smiled and said, “Well, Kirill?” “It’s time to say sorry.”

“I apologize… He whispered, “To you and your mother.”

Sonja gave a nod. That night proved that dignity, not wealth, defines one’s identity; it had nothing to do with a car or a wager.
