A moving and relatable coming-of-age story, The Hesitant Freshman: A Dream Left Behind is a journey of discovery, heartbreak, and resilience.
Wila Sakamana's life has always been shaped by dreams; dreams of filmmaking, stories, and a future of creativity with his childhood friend, Etambuyu. But as he stands on the cusp of adulthood, his parents' expectations clash with his aspirations. After receiving an acceptance letter to a prestigious filmmaking school, Wila is faced with an impossible decision: follow his passion for cinema or live up to his family's rigid vision of success.

But as he stands on the cusp of adulthood, his parents' expectations clash with his aspirations. After receiving an acceptance letter to a prestigious filmmaking school, Wila is faced with an impossible decision: follow his passion for cinema or live up to his family's rigid vision of success.
Torn between his dreams and his duty, Wila embarks on a journey of self-discovery, confronting his fears, his parents' pressures, and the unraveling bond with Etambuyu. The Hesitant Freshman is a poignant exploration of dreams, love, and the price of following your heart in a world full of expectations. With rich characters, emotional depth, and a story that resonates with anyone who's ever been made to choose between their dreams and reality, this is the first book in the Wila Sakamana Series.
In a society where expectations can be suffocating, will Wila find his way back to the dream he left behind; or will it slip away forever?
The journey begins here; before Wila must make the hardest choice of his life in The Reluctant Dropout.
