Lionesses Meet In Italy

It was a beautiful weekday in the city of Vicenza. I was downstairs near the vending machines at CUOA, my school – BCIT’s partner business school, when I saw a woman with a stunning tattoo of a lion on her tricep. It immediately caught my attention. I followed her outside, where I asked if I could interview her for a school assignment. I asked her basic questions at first, about her name, age, education, and where she was originally from. I learned that her name was Lucezia, and she was an MBA student. As our conversation began getting deeper, I was immensely surprised to learn that we had so much in common. I had to cut to the chase and ask her about her tattoo, because lions are my favourite animal. She began telling me that she got it for her mom, who raised her and her sister as a single mother. I immediately got goosebumps. I informed her that my mom was also a single mother, who raised my brother and I, and that I too associate lions with my mom. We both bonded over the symbolism of the lion – strength. We agreed that our single mother’s were the epitome of strength to us both.

What I really admired about Lucezia was that she was so kind, confident, and intelligent. It made my heart feel fulfillment to meet a fellow business student whom I had so much in common with. Our shared love for lions, our single mothers, and our education brought us together by fate. It’s a small world after all!
