Complete Meaning

Mia had been working on the giant jigsaw puzzle for weeks. Every evening, after a long day of studying for exams, she would sit down at her dining room table and add pieces to the colorful landscape. The puzzle was nearly finished, with only one piece left. That final piece seemed to taunt her—no matter how hard she looked, she couldn’t find it. As the days passed, the room became increasingly filled with other things, like books and papers, and the puzzle was put on the back burner. One day, while preparing for a test, Mia stumbled upon the missing piece under the edge of the table. Her heart skipped a beat as she realized that she was finally going to complete it. She picked it up carefully, making sure it fit perfectly into place. For a moment, she just stared at the completed puzzle, feeling a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. All the hard work had paid off. Later that evening, Mia’s friend Sarah came over. Mia couldn’t wait to show her the completed puzzle. As Sarah walked into the room, Mia smiled and said, ‘You have to see this!’ When Sarah looked at the puzzle, she was impressed by how much effort Mia had put into it. ‘It looks amazing,’ she said. ‘You’ve really completed it.’ Mia laughed, a sense of pride bubbling up inside her. ‘Yeah, I finally finished it. The last piece was the hardest to find.’ They sat down, reminiscing about the times they had spent together in school and how they had both worked so hard to complete their respective goals. Mia had completed her puzzle, and Sarah had completed her final project. Both of them felt the same sense of fulfillment. That night, as Mia reflected on her puzzle, she realized something. The satisfaction of completing a goal, no matter how small, was a feeling she would cherish forever. It was a reminder that no matter how incomplete something might seem at first, with effort and patience, it could always be made whole.
