Challenges and Hopes
Despite the excitement and enthusiasm, Aida also mentions her anxieties. She points out that her first question might not go well or her voice might tremble behind the microphone.

Now, with the start of this festival, Aida and her peers are looking for special moments that they can cherish in their hearts. They are in search of stories that can inspire future generations and help express the emotions and feelings of children and adolescents.
