"You May See Me Struggle...

Ava's teacher Mrs. Knighton sent her some work to do each day this week and below is the final result of her work.  She was to write a composition with the prompt:  "Write about an item you own and tell why it is important to you."  She was to only give one reason why it was important and then provide a thorough support for it.

"You may see me struggle, but you will never see me quit."  I wear that quote everyday.  It's on a very important sweatshirt.  Here's why it's important to me.

I like my sweatshirt because it reminds me to never give up.  Once I caught four games in a row and couldn't feel my legs.  I got cold and put on my sweatshirt and I remembered to never give up.

My sweatshirt reminds me to encourage my friends when one of my friends are hurt or want to quite.  It always helps me remember.  They remember too.

Now that you see, I love my sweatshirt.  It helps in my life a lot.  I hope you have something like it.
