In my class, there was a really weak-looking guy. I don’t know if his name was Vit or Wit. I will him as Wit in this story of mine. He was a pale, thin guy. Not only his build looked weak, the way he was also weak. He walked slowly but he tried to stay off of everyone’s way. The friends in my class, Jean and Ingrid, would him. Truth to be told, I them as well. We did things like taking his stuff, like his pens and pencils, and them somewhere in the school.
Wit was also really of insects, even butterfly. Jean, Ingrid, and I often put beetle on his clothes and he would run around, trying to it off. There were many beetles in the school so that was the insect we used to scare him with. Other insects such as butterfly were hard to so we pretty much gave up on it. We would often take the when Wit was off-guard and put the insects on him. it was on him, he would run around or jump about. He was too scared to it and pull it off.
Suddenly one day, we were by the school. When I walked into the room, Wit’s mother, as well as Ingrid’s mother, Jean’s father, and mine were in the room silently. Wit’s mother said that Wit went home and the sandbag shouting “Jean!!! Ingrid!!! Archer!!!” every day. I wanted to laugh but didn’t with all the she was putting on us .She asked many things, including things I had no idea about such as “Who put Wit’s bag in the girl toilet?” Apparently, it was Jean who did it. Jean seemed to have bullied Wit quite a lot and got quite a(n) from Wit’s and her own mother.
I think it should have been quite guilty for to see us scolded by the parents. However , we decided to stop bullying Wit and be friendly to him.

Don’t mention old offences from last month or last year. By doing this, you 24attention from the problem at hand. Moreover, when you complain, 25 add insults.

When I 37the great number of things on the list—a literature essay, timelines for American History, a Spanish presentation and 38for tests in both Calculus and Physics, I was overwhelmed(难以承受) to the point of 39 exhaustion (extreme tiredness). After - school arrangements had already worn away my 40 . To keep myself awake at 11p.m. to finish five hours of 41just seemed like too much to handle. I 42 at the computer screen with tears streaming down my cheeks, 43 my friend James about how stressed out I was over school.

No college, one billion dollar endowment (资助) or not, is worth the 55 I went through last year. I wish I’d had someone to tell me sooner that I didn’t have to do everything. Colleges don’t really want overachieving robots, They want people with passion(love). It doesn’t matter whether you’re a policy debater or not, as long as you show that you’re going for the things you love.
