would need to alter my ways or I would spend a miserable life. I resolved to lift weights and run every day and get into shape and try a lot harder in school. I was fit and I had never played sports‚ so when school came I joined the football team.

I could not read at all‚ it did not really bother me until the class got assigned reading levels. I was put into the lowest level while most of my friends got put into different groups and were allowed to read different books then me.

people can’t change. I don’t think it’s true‚ because I changed all thanks to my best friend Lulu. Before meeting her I was the opposite as I am right now‚ unhelpful‚ not that good at my studies and even not that good as someone to trust. Not only did Lulu change my way of thinking she changed my life‚ within three different reasons‚ her honesty‚ her cleverness and her volunteering works. She is a very close to me‚ although I met Lulu in my first year at the university. The first time I saw Lulu

It was the morning of move in day. I said goodbye to my home and headed out. I passed the local shopping market and my high school where I enjoyed a fun four years. As I headed to Norman I realized I was leaving everything I had ever known. All my life has consisted of living in the same house‚ going to school with the same kids‚ and going to the same supermarkets and restaurants. While I’d like to say I have developed a good idea of the world around me by visiting so many cities around the

I grabbed a sharp object‚ went to the end of my bed‚ slashed my flesh‚ believing the drained red blood released from my body and dropped was the trauma that came from constant family issues and school bullying.

I was far from the avid reader I am today and have needed a tutor in math since I learned how to multiply. It wasn’t that I was particularly bad at all of these things‚ but I used to be so remarkably unambitious that I couldn’t bring myself to commit to anything long enough to become good at it.
