“That night he wrote a seven –page paper, describing his goal of someday 24 a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great detail. He put his 25 into the project and the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he 26 his paper back. On the front page was a large F with a 27 that read, “See me after class.” The boy went to see the teacher after class.

The boy went home and thought about it 32 and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, “Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is very important 33 for you.” Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the 34 paper. He stated, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my 35 .”
