Susan is a highly educated mother. She was once a dazzling professional in the eyes of her colleagues, excelling in the workplace and widely respected. However, after her child was born, she chose to step away from her career to focus on raising her family. As the years went by, her identity gradually shifted from a “professional” to a “full-time mom.” Initially, she believed this was the best choice she could make for her family, but years later, she began to feel an inner emptiness and confusion.

Now, Susan spends her days busy with her child’s school life, extracurricular activities, and household chores, yet she realizes she can’t even remember the last time she worked hard for herself. When asked about her interests or dreams, she finds herself unable to answer. The professional skills that once filled her with passion seem to have been completely submerged by the trivialities of daily life.

What troubles Susan the most is that she has started to question her own value. She is afraid of re-entering the workplace, worrying that she has already been left behind by this rapidly changing society. At the same time, however, she is tired of living a life defined merely as “the pillar behind someone else.” She yearns to find a goal that truly belongs to her, to prove that she is not just a mother or a wife, but an independent woman with infinite possibilities.

“This is the first time in my life that I am standing on stage for myself.”
