I felt it had some boring aspects that left me feeling unsatisfied as a result. I will prove my opinion by presenting my textual evidence piece by

Do you ever wonder why students are so sleepy in class or why they’re always so late? It’s because they have to wake up early to go somewhere they don’t want to go.
