A quitfter always holds back the school and ‘,has few friends. : ’ ~ We should take an active part in every activity and should never go to sleep on the job. During a basket ball game we should all support our own team. In one way, when we cheer them, we help them to win. We should have confidenc in our own team whomever they play.
