Your story centres around patience, perseverance, and courage in the face of adversity. Your MC faced huge disappointment in falling ill just before his final exams but he overcame this through the support of his friends. You painted a good picture of the close and caring relationships between the friends, and presented a nice theme and response to the prompt. This piece could, however, do with an edit to check for spelling, punctuation, grammar, and mixed tenses. Try using Grammarly to identify and correct errors in your work before publishing. It will improve the flow of your writing and elevate it. The story is also on the shorter side of recommended length and we would encourage you to spend more time fleshing out your next one as it is challenging to deliver a complete story in so few words. When we finish the read we have questions: How did your MC manage to survive as an orphan? How and when was he orphaned? What illness befell him? How did he manage to support himself through the extra year at school? Your story also needs more show than tell to lift it off the page. If you take a look at this article from The Ink Well, you will get an idea of how this concept can help to improve your writing. Show don't Tell. Thank you for writing in The Ink Well.
Thank you for the recommendation. I use Google doc. For my editing, I'll try using grammarly. Even though I have gone through some articles recommended for better writing, I'm learning to develop them gradually. Thank you
