1. I realized I needed to balance my school work with the amount of time I needed for my sport. As the first semester went on, I realized that I did not finish all of my work every day, and after school, I played volleyball making me late on my schoolwork.                                                        2. I think the narrator will most likely start spending more time with his wife, instead of working all the time.

I noticed that I would spend most of my time in my room and staying away from everyone in my house.

1. It was at the end of middle school after I got my graduation uniform and what I look back and it felt like I really didn't deserve it. Doing middle school my father passed away and it hit me hard to the point where inside to suppress my some of my emotions. With later on in 8th grade I was at a point where I felt like I couldn't focus, it felt like I just wanted to past the time, wait me to the last minute, then get that work done. Then when the end of the year came along, and I saw my grades most of it was awful. It was after looking in the mirror and seeing my graduation suit on I start to realize I screwed up my year that I could have had something better. After that I talked to my parents, and I told him how I felt. I felt better after that.

2. I believe the narrator will start to spend more time with his wife and take less time on work.  My evidence for this is from the last to lines when he says, “As he saw the yellow paper, the pencil flying, scooped off the desk and, unimpeded by the glassless window, sailed out into the night and out of his life, Tom Benecke burst into laughter and then close the door behind them.” Giving the evidence that he has moved on from his work and is now ready to spend more time with his wife.
