On the school’s stage I was hosting a school event. I was asked to give a short speech about children’s first experience in a palace away from their mothers love.

My experience with Accelerated Reader (AR) is not long‚ but I started doing ARs when I got to Leilehua in my freshman year. At first‚ it was difficult for me because I did not understand much English; therefore‚ when I took my first STAR test‚ I got a low reading level and I felt disappointed and dumb.

Experience is the source of knowledge whether they’re bad or good. It gives us confidence‚ courage‚ and strength. It is how life teaches us to love and forgive each other. In fact‚ experience is the worst teacher because it gives us the test before presenting the lesson.
