Liza, a typical teen girl, was overly concerned about her peers’ opinions, often neglecting her grandmother, Pam. When Pam gifted her a handmade dress for prom, Liza harshly rejected it, focused only on acquiring a designer gown. The night of the prom, Liza was pleased with her expensive dress until disaster struck: another girl wore the same dress, and a mishap ruined it. Distraught, Liza found solace in the dress her grandmother had made, realizing its unique beauty and love. Her perspective shifted, and she regretted her earlier behavior. At the prom, Liza’s heartfelt dress garnered admiration. However, she soon received alarming news that Pam was hospitalized. Filled with remorse, Liza rushed to Pam’s side, promising to appreciate and cherish her grandmother’s love more deeply, realizing true value comes from the heart, not from materialistic possessions.
