I hate school!

Math, science, history,
etc. is boring!
When will I ever use this?

People don’t have a
propensity for laziness.
People have a
propensity for hard
work. It just needs to
be work that matters
to them.

They mark a certain
achievement ... when
one girl sees a badge on
a sister Scout's arm, if
that girl has won the
same badge, it at once
awakens an interest and
sympathy between them.

I believe there's a
hero in all of us, that
keeps us honest,
gives us strength,
makes us noble, and
finally allows us to
die with pride ...
