28 That I can read. I believe that being able to read well and comprehend is the number one skill that can make or break a student’s school career.
29 My stories
30 My short, over weight body. With out it I wouldn’t appreciate the hard work that some people have to put into being in shape. I wouldn’t just say to someone “Why don’t you do weightwatchers” because I know it’s just not that easy. I understand and can encourage others through true pain on their way to a healthy life style. I understand what it’s like to have little to no metabolism. It makes me more understanding to those around me and more humble.
