in his eyes.
I have here another activities we

based from the essay.

behavior and etc.
Senseless or worthless
Yes, Ma’am
Ma’am!

3. thoughts. I will call any members of
your group to present your answer.
Below are the sentences.
1. I am nature’s greatest miracle
vain attempts to imitate others
no longer will I make. Instead will
I place my uniqueness or display
in the market place
2. I am nature’s greatest miracle
I am not on this earth by chance
I am here for a purpose and that
purpose is to group into a
mountain
not to shrink to a grain of sand.
