                           Reflection

Because there is people that work hard for their goal and there is just other people that expect them to get to you .And it doesn’t work that way. 

                  

     Glenn Cunningham (Athlete)

Glenn Cunningham went through a terrible accident when he was young. When he was 8 years of age, he went to a schoolhouse and there was a mistake instead of putting kerosene they put gasoline and there was an explosion. And was very badly burned from his legs. He was so distressed that his parents did not let doctors amputate his legs. He had a brother his name was Floyd and he died in the accident that happened in the schoolhouse.

                 Reflection:

In my opinion Glenn Cunningham was a very brave man. Cause he went though a lot wen he was a little boy. His brother died and was still strong. They were about o amputate his legs and his parents did not allow it.But yet became a champion in the 800 mile run and other things. I admire Glenn Cunningham because he is a very strong and brave man. I think it is amazing to a person achieve that way.

                            Summary

                      The Sting of the Scorpion

The lesson that I was thought in this story was that always listen do directions and obeys your parents when they tell you to do the right thing cause if you don’t what is right you are going to have consequences. Like the little boy in this story he was told to do something and didn’t choose the right he had to pay the consequences. He stinted by a scorpion.
