baseball, welding

Recycling will make the

world a cleaner and happier

place, I also think planting

trees and learning to use

more energy efficient

appliances can help our

environment greatly

graduating form college

or a welding vocational

school. I will get there

by doing well at this

school and continuing

to work hard elsewhere.
