Here's what happens when you click the button:

1. The `onSubmit` event handler executes.
2. `setIsSent(true)` sets `isSent` to `true` and queues a new render.
2. `setIsSent(true)` sets `isSent`<sup>*</sup> to `true` and queues a new render.
3. React re-renders the component according to the new `isSent` value.

<sup>*</sup> Note that only the `isSent` value stored within React's state manager is updated. The local component variable `isSent` does not change as it is a _copy of_ not a _reference to_ the internal state

Let's take a closer look at the relationship between state and rendering.
