  1. What is Twilight's challenge?
  2. Twilight aspires to get into a highly selective research/study program that only takes a few students each year. To get in, she's sort of sidelined her friends a little bit. However, the big issue is that as the final date draws closer, she has a number of questions: is she smart enough; is she what the program is looking for; is the program what SHE'S looking for; what about her current relationships and how will it impact them; how can she manage all of this and her studies at once? Because of these overwhelming thoughts, she has begun to isolate herself more and more in an attempt to figure out the answers on her own, but with little success.
