Si Elena ay isang matatag na working student. Sa umaga, masigasig siyang mag-aaral ng Accountancy sa unibersidad sa Maynila, at sa gabi, dedikadong waitress sa isang sikat na kainan. Ang kanyang araw ay nagsisimula sa alas-singko ng umaga, at kahit pagod, tinatangka niyang maunawaan ang mga aralin. Pagkatapos ng klase, agad siyang pumupunta sa kainan, nagpapalit ng uniporme at nagiging abala sa paghahatid ng mga order, ngiti sa labi kahit na nangangalay ang kanyang katawan. Isang gabi, habang nagmamadali, nakita niyang may naiwang wallet ang isang customer. Binuksan ito at puno ng pera, ngunit hindi siya nagdalawang-isip na ibalik ito sa manager at maghintay para ibalik sa customer nang buo. “Maraming salamat, hija,” sabi ng customer, “Bihira na ang katulad mo.” Ngumiti si Elena at sinabing, “Trabaho ko po ito, at alam kong tama lang ibalik ang hindi akin.” Kahit hirap, hindi siya tumitigil. Ang kanyang sipag, tiyaga, at katapatan ay patuloy na nagiging inspirasyon sa kanyang mga kaklase at katrabaho. Pinapakita ni Elena na ang determinasyon at mabuting kalooban ang susi sa tagumpay, at kahit gaano pa kahirap ang buhay, ang kanyang mga pangarap ay abot-kamay.
