Falling Down (Literally) and Getting Back Up Junior said he “realized that hard work- the act of finishing‚ of completing‚ of accomplishing a task- is joyous”. I completely agree with junior’s statement. Some of the most hard work i’ve done in my life had been in cheer.

"I was always getting in trouble for reading in school" Schools are places where students go and learn. I believe that the administrators and teachers help to determine the type of school that it will be. For instance‚ this student that states I was always getting in trouble for reading in school might feel that reading is something that can get him in trouble.
