1
Hi, my name is Marina, which means from the sea.
2
Before I tell you my story, please like and subscribe.
3
I was born in a small fisherman's town, and even though my parents didn't have much, I had the happiest childhood.
4
The sea air made me strong, and I could outrun and out-swim any boy around.
5
I loved going out with Dad to catch the day's haul, and I'd spin the wildest tails for Mom at night.
6
I saw the sea monster's tentacles, Mom, and then he just ripped our boat, ready to turn it upside down.
7
Then I leaned over, and I just talked to him nicely.
8
I figured he must get angry and lonely by himself out there.
9
We became friends, and he let us go.
10
Really?
11
How come your dad didn't see him?
12
Because monsters only show themselves to kids, duh!
13
Grown-ups just start shouting and hitting them with stones without listening to their side.
14
Ow!
15
Mom, can you let me go now?
16
It's not my fault your lovely hair is always a mess.
17
Just sit still.
18
When I was nine, my twin brothers were born, and I was excited to be a big sister.
19
I stayed up at night when they cried, changed their gross nappies, and I told them all my stories.
20
They believed every word.
21
Life was good, but when I was 13, everything changed.
22
Dad told us one day
23
that the town had been bought up by a billionaire who was gonna convert the whole place to a seaside vacation spot.
24
All the families were given some money to relocate, and even though it broke our hearts, we had no choice but to move to the city.
25
Dad took up a job as a carpenter, and I joined a public school.
26
I put on my bravest face as Mom left me on my first day, But inside, I was shaking like a jellyfish.
27
I just wasn't used to so many people.
28
The first week, I hardly looked up in class and just learned to identify everyone by their shoes.
29
And during recess, I ate lunch alone in the janitor's closet.
30
But one day, I was walking home when I saw a few older kids laughing and surrounding someone.
31
Just then, I caught sight of those Ant-Man sneakers, and those definitely belonged to Tom from my class.
32
Hey, you!
33
Knock it off and let him go!
34
Are you little Tommy's girlfriend?
35
Did you know he's a freak who talks to insects?
36
Yeah, so?
37
I-I talk to crows, and if you don't let him go right now, I'll summon them to attack you!
38
Why did I even say that?
39
Oh, really?
40
Come on then, let's see you do it!
41
I had no freaking idea what I was doing, but I just started lapping my arms and cawing like a horse crow!
42
The boys were howling with laughter as I kept cawing desperately, and then suddenly, a flock of crows appeared!
43
I was as shocked as anybody else!
44
Attack them!
45
Claw their eyes out, my lovelies!
46
Caw!
47
Caw!
48
The boys ran off screaming without looking back, even though the crows weren't chasing them.
49
This was just the best coincidence ever!
50
Wow, how cool are you?
51
Um, so here's the thing.
52
Actually, never mind.
53
I am pretty cool.
54
Yeah, wanna be friends?
55
I am your humble servant forever, ma'am.
56
That's how I made my first friend in the city, and he was obsessed with insects.
57
But he was smart and sweet and helped me a lot with schoolwork.
58
He also loved hearing about my life before, and I felt less homesick with Tom around.
59
But soon after high school started, I came home with him one day to find my brothers having a huge food fight.
60
Jeez, just stop it you guys!
61
Where's mom?
62
Mom!
63
When she didn't reply, I ran up to her room to find her collapsed on the floor.
64
Tom called an ambulance and we rushed her to the hospital.
65
Is.. is mom gonna be okay?
66
Of course, sweetie.
67
I feel scared.
68
Don't be.
69
Everything will be just fine.
70
Except that it wasn't.
71
Mom came home from the hospital a week later, but she needed special care.
72
Dad couldn't afford a full-time nurse, so I helped out the best I could.
73
Every day after school, I raced home to give Mom her medicine, fluff her pillows, and rub her feet.
74
Dad worked long hours, so I cooked and cleaned and took care of my brothers, too, who drove me nuts.
75
But then they'd do something to melt my heart.
76
Like once they collected enough coins from a park fountain to order pizzas for three days so I didn't have to cook.
77
Mom felt better.
78
She'd knit us sweaters and dad would tell us stories and some days weren't bad at all.
79
But other days were much harder.
80
One night, I found dad sitting up late with bills piled up around him and I desperately wanted to help.
81
So the next day, I slipped out of the house and returned a few hours later.
82
Dad, here's some money just to help out a bit.
83
$500?
84
Marina, where'd you get this from?
85
I slowly took my cap off and everyone gasped.
86
I sold the only thing I had.
87
You look like our ugly brother now.
88
Oh, Marina, your beautiful long hair.
89
Why would you?
90
Mom, it's okay.
91
It's just hair.
92
It'll grow back.
93
Dad's eyes were filled with tears and he pulled me into a hug.
94
Marina, my love, you are the most amazing daughter.
95
I know things are hard right now, but one day life will pay you back tenfold for everything you do for us.
96
I just know it.
97
But the next day at school, I suddenly burst into tears during lunch.
98
Hey, is everything okay?
99
Is it your mom or...
100
No, no, I know this sounds really vain, but I just miss my hair.
101
Tom let me cry it out and then he wiped my face with his sleeve.
102
You'd look lovely even if you were bald, Marina.
103
You're beautiful inside and out.
104
I was lucky to have Tom, and I loved my family more than anything.
105
But over time, I couldn't help wishing that my life would just get easier already.
106
I was only 17, but I felt 57.
107
But then on my 18th birthday, Tom took me out to a fancy restaurant for dinner.
108
Wow, Tom, this place is amazing.
109
How can you afford this?
110
Don't worry about that.
111
I just want to do something special for you.
112
The food was spectacular, and I'd never seen so many beautiful people in my life.
113
Just the end of the dinner, Tom excused himself for the restroom.
114
As I sat there watching people dancing on the patio, a cute boy joined me.
115
Please tell me the guy who just deserted you isn't your boyfriend.
116
He didn't desert me, he just went to pee.
117
And no, he's not.
118
Phew.
119
You know how long I've been holding my breath?
120
You're kinda melodramatic, aren't you?
121
It's endearing, isn't it?
122
Would you like to dance?
123
I have no idea how to do the tango.
124
Trust me, no one does.
125
I'm Lance, by the way.
126
His smile was infectious, and I couldn't say no. He did know how to tango, and I just followed his instructions blindly.
127
When the music ended, I laughed as I caught my breath, and I spotted Tom waiting for me.
128
This was fun.
129
Thanks.
130
I gotta go.
131
I'd love to see you again.
132
Call me, please.
133
Also, let your friend know the bill's been taken care of.
134
But Tom was furious.
135
That Lance is such a jerk, throwing his money around.
136
Who asked for his charity?
137
I'll give him a piece of my mind.
138
It's okay, Tom.
139
Don't make a scene.
140
Do you know him? Who doesn't?
141
His dad owns half the city, and Lance is set to inherit millions.
142
I googled Lance that night, but I didn't call him.
143
He and I were worlds apart.
144
Plus, I didn't have time to date, but Lance somehow tracked down my address and started sending me flowers and chocolates every day.
145
Then one evening, mom had a relapse and she was back in the hospital, but the doctors just couldn't figure out the problem this time.
146
After several sleepless nights, I walked out of the hospital for some air and ran straight into Lance.
147
You weren't answering my calls and you weren't home.
148
I'm sorry.
149
I had someone track you down because I was just worried.
150
Suddenly, I just broke down and told him everything about mom's illness.
151
Lance made a few phone calls and then said my mom was being transferred to a private hospital.
152
What?
153
We can't afford that?
154
But I can.
155
Your mom will be examined by the best doctors who will figure out her treatment.
156
Don't you want that?
157
Of course I do, but how can I accept this?
158
It's too much.
159
It's already done.
160
I really do like you, Marina.
161
I'm not just chasing you for fun.
162
Let me take care of you.
163
It felt like such a relief to hear those words.
164
There was someone to take care of me.
165
The new doctors enrolled mom in an experimental treatment program, and after only three months, her illness was completely gone.
166
I can't even believe this.
167
It's a miracle.
168
Lance, thank you so much.
169
And without another thought, I kissed him.
170
Soon after, Lance and I started dating, and every moment with him was a dream.
171
Then one day, he gave me a diamond necklace and asked me to move in with him, and I said yes.
172
What?
173
You've just been dating Lance for a few weeks, but I've known him for a few months now.
174
Mom's doing well, and the twins are a bit older, and Tom, he can give me the life I deserve.
175
If that's what you want, then I'm happy for you.
176
Where will you be going for college?
177
Um, I'm not sure I'm going to college at all.
178
I moved in with Lance after high school and spent a year in the lap of luxury.
179
But then things took a turn.
180
Lance and his parents got into a huge fight and they stopped giving him money.
181
He was angry and stressed all the time now.
182
Maybe I could get a job and help with money.
183
You help me?
184
What a joke.
185
You barely passed high school.
186
So what job would you get?
187
You don't have to be a jerk, Lance.
188
I was just trying to...
189
You're the entire problem.
190
My parents are cutting me off because they want me to be with their business partner's daughter.
191
And you know what?
192
I'm not sure you're worth losing everything for.
193
Lance broke up with me and gave me two days to move out, and I felt humiliated.
194
I didn't want to tell anyone what had happened, so I went home and pretended I was just visiting till I figured something out.
195
I was happy to see my family again, but being home made me feel even more desperate not to fall back into this life again.
196
But then something unexpected happened.
197
Tom called me up.
198
Marina, I need your help.
199
I'm a finalist for this prestigious science scholarship, and I have to give a speech at a gala?
200
That's fantastic.
201
It's gonna be a disaster.
202
I hate fancy parties and I suck at speeches.
203
Please, come with me.
204
I agreed to go and even helped him pick out a nice suit and practice his speech.
205
On the night of the gala, he looked really good.
206
But the moment we walked into the building, I knew I'd hit the jackpot.
207
This place was full of rich men.
208
Tom and I were seated next to a business tycoon who donated millions to universities every year.
209
Yeah, he was 15 years older than me, but I didn't care.
210
A couple of weeks later, Tom invited me for dinner to celebrate his scholarship win.
211
Thanks for coming to the gala.
212
I couldn't have done it without you.
213
You didn't need me at all.
214
You're amazing, Tom, and you deserve a lot more than you think you do.
215
Um, are you okay?
216
Your eye is twitching a lot.
217
Marina, I'm in love with you.
218
Tom, please don't say more.
219
No, I have to say it now.
220
I've loved you since the eighth grade.
221
You just never seemed to take the hint.
222
And then Lance came along, but you're single now, right?
223
I heard he's with someone else.
224
Yes, but I still can't.
225
Why?
226
Because I'm not good enough for you?
227
No, it's not that.
228
You're too good for me, Tom.
229
And you deserve better.
230
I just don't feel the same way about you.
231
I'm so sorry.
232
Also, I was gonna tell you tonight, I'm engaged.
233
What? To whom?
234
William, you know, the guy we were sitting next to at the gala?
235
That rich guy who's like twice our age?
236
Seriously?
237
Are you telling me you're in love with him?
238
Look me in the eye and say so.
239
I don't need to explain myself to you.
240
It's about the money, isn't it?
241
Marina, can't you wait and give me a chance?
242
No, I can't wait.
243
I don't want to leave anything to chance.
244
If there's one thing I've learned, it's that money is the only thing that gives you security.
245
If you're poor, you can be forced to leave your home and you can't take care of the people you love.
246
And you can only work yourself to death like me and dad and it still won't be good enough.
247
No one can survive on just love.
248
Money can make things happen and I don't intend to be without it again.
249
You know what?
250
If someone had told me you'd grow up to be a gold digger, I would have never believed them.
251
I would have punched them in the face.
252
But I guess I was just really wrong about you.
253
I was so mad, I slapped Tom hard and ran away in tears.
254
He had no right to judge me.
255
A week later, I married William and found out that he had an eight-year-old daughter, Allison, who lived with him.
256
Well, he was mostly away, so she was raised by nannies.
257
She seemed to resent my presence and had some pranks pulled on me in the first few weeks.
258
I still kept trying to be friends and even got her an adorable cat.
259
Ew, I hate cats.
260
I'm allergic to them.
261
Wait, maybe we can name her Marina because she smells like you and I'm allergic to you too.
262
But the next morning, I found Allison sleeping with the cat snuggled close to her.
263
And then one night, there was a huge thunderstorm and I suddenly found Allison at my door.
264
I- I'm really scared of thunder.
265
Would you feel better if you slept here today, sweetie?
266
She jumped onto my bed
267
and I distracted her from the storm by telling her all the stories I used to make up for my brothers.
268
After that, Allison and I became really close.
269
Over the next few years, I grew to love her like my own and my days revolved around making her happy.
270
Then one day, I came home to find William in the main hall next to a foreign-looking woman holding Allison's hand.
271
What's going on here?
272
This is Allison's mother and she's taking her to France.
273
Allison will be living with her now.
274
What?
275
France?
276
No!
277
You can't just come and take her away like that!
278
Where were you all these years?
279
I am not going to allow some nanny to question me.
280
Allison, let's go.
281
Allison, please.
282
Wait, sweetie.
283
Is this really what you want?
284
Aren't you happy here with me?
285
Yeah, I am.
286
But Marina, she's my mom.
287
I want to be with her.
288
But there has to be another way.
289
You don't have to go so far.
290
Please, I beg you.
291
William held me back as Allison looked at me sadly one last time and left, and my heart broke into a million pieces.
292
After that, it just felt like I was living in a huge, cold house full of things, but with no happiness or meaning.
293
Something inside me felt broken, and I missed my old life.
294
Even if I didn't have much back then, I always used to wake up with purpose and people who loved me.
295
A month later, I asked William for a divorce and went back home.
296
It was lovely to be back with my family, and my heart began to heal.
297
I started looking up community college courses and part-time jobs.
298
I found one as a sales assistant in a flower shop shop, and one evening, as I walked out after closing up, I ran straight into someone.
299
Oh my god!
300
Tom?
301
Marina?
302
Okay, I'm just acting shocked.
303
I already knew you were here.
304
I just threw my arms around him and cried like a kid, and he held me close.
305
It was amazing catching up with Tom, and I felt so proud of him.
306
He was a famous entomologist now, and he even had his own TV show where he traveled the world discovering new insects.
307
But we kept seeing each other every time he visited, and I found myself falling in love with him.
308
After I graduated college, he proposed and I said yes.
309
He whisked me off to a beautiful seaside house for the weekend, but I was shocked when he gave me the key.
310
This place is yours, Marina.
311
You can even move your family here if you want.
312
What?
313
Tom?
314
No, I've changed, really.
315
I just want you, not your money or a fancy beach house.
316
I know.
317
Even when I said all those awful things to you years ago, it's only because I was hurt.
318
I could actually understand why you felt that way, and all I ever wanted was to make your life better.
319
I didn't before, but I can now.
320
You used to tell me about your childhood, and I always imagined we'd live by the sea one day.
321
Well, here we are, and some dreams really do come true.
322
I love you so much, Tom.
323
I love you too, Marina.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
