Akeelah said that when she was saddened by her father's death, she tried to memorize some words, which made her forget the pain. I think the process should not be to forget the pain, but to gain peace.

Everyone has their own unique way to gain peace. Think about it, how long have you been wandering? How long has it been since you focused on a goal?

The feeling that the movie gives me is not only inspirational, but a guide to analyze my heart, find the right direction, work hard for it, and smile to the world.
