To many it was the worst possible thing because they all just wanted to die away from the pain. Our beds were made of concrete‚ we went to bed in pain and woke up in pain and that was my life for about 7 months. You had to get use to everyday things or else you would die away like everyone else. I didn’t want anything

“I hate spanish class!” I said that in first and second grade and I regret saying it. I regret it because I go to Mexico for family and vacation. In my opinion‚ it’s really hard being there and not knowing spanish. Middle‚ high and/or grades schools should have foreign language classes. Everyone travels sometime in their life.

Eng. 121 Essay 1:Remembering The Day I Learned To Ride My Bicycle I must have been seven or eight years old when I rode my first bicycle‚ and the day I learned to ride my bike is very memorable to me.
