Brrring! Brrring! The piercing sound of my alarm rudely interrupts the tranquility of the morning, dragging me out of the warmth of my bed. Six o'clock—like clockwork, it signals the start of another day. Groaning inwardly, I curse the early hour, longing for just a few more moments of blissful slumber. But duty calls, and I reluctantly peel back the covers to face the day.
