I used  to  spend all my day in playing and enjoying.

I never cared about my books and studies.

I used to miss my school.

In my half yearly exams my results were very bad.

I could not even pass the examination.

The teacher called me and advised me to work hard.

She told me if I did not work hard I had to repeat my class again.

That day I felt very bad.

I decided to work very hard and get good marks.

I made my time table.

I spent my maximum time in studying.

I did writing practice also.

And my hard work really proved fruitful.

When my final result declared, I got 85% marks.

That day I understood the value of hard work.
