An "aha" moment is a sudden realization or understanding that makes you feel happy and relieved. It's like finally getting something that was confusing or unclear.

When we experience an "aha" moment, it usually means we've just connected some dots and figured out how things fit together. We might be reading a book, watching a movie, or even having a conversation with someone when suddenly it clicks – we get it! It's like a little lightbulb turns on in our head and says, "Oh, I see what you mean now!" This feeling can happen at school, work, or in everyday life.
