I chose this well-known Spanish song because in the song, the lyrics state how in his past life, he's gone through plenty hardships and that not everything nor everyone is perfect. The lyrics in the begining saying, "Voy hablar de mi pasado,
Voy hablarles de mi vida, no todo es lo que parece, yo también he batallado
Yo vengo de gente humilde y hay muchos momentos tristes imposibles de olvidarlos" Translated to "I'm going to talk about my past,
I'm going to tell you about my life, not everything is what it seems, I've also battled
I come from humble people and there are many sad moments impossible to forget." Towards the end he says that he changed his life for the better and now hes a famous Spanish singer in a band.

I chose this poem because the author tells us a whole story about how their dad has always worked hard through everything. The author also told us that despite his past life and the hardships he has, he managed to graduate highschool with a diploma, become a registered nurse, and come and live in the United States. Lastly, I chose this poem because the author ends the poem with both of her parents worked hard to get her in school and now, she is also graduating with a diploma and ready for college.

Hard work pays off I saw it in my dad He's been working since the age of 6 In the good times and the bad My dad worked on a farm With his family of 14 Having no food or money Their bodies were so lean Some days they had rice Some days they had nothing But whether they had something They never did stop working Hard work pays off I saw it in my dad With no money for an education He worked hard to get that My dad went through school

I chose this article because the author stated a lot about how hard work can effect differnet things in life. The author also told us about how his team made it to the playoffs because of all the work they put into it and that nothing in life comes easy. Lastly, I chose this article because at the end, the author was stating how because of all the endless hardwork he put into playing his sports, colleges are now sending letters, offering scholarships, which is the reward he says was waiting for him.

This I Believe

This I believe... Hard work always pays off.

No matter what you do or when you do it, hard work always pays off in the end. Hard work is what we have to do if we plan on going or doing anything in this life. We cannot sit back and take it easy all the time, we have to get out there and work for what we want. When we have to put forth hard work then you know the rewards will be that much greater. I'm here to tell you that hard work always pays off in the end. Hard work is what you have to do if you want to achieve the rewards from the effort you put forth.

Even in sports you have to work hard to get the reward you deserve. When we won our first home playoff game you think we did that by being lazy? No, it was months and months of hard work, and it paid off. We worked very hard to accomplish that feat and we came out with a win. We were so happy that night you would have thought we won the state championship. We all knew we had done something big and something no one else at Wayne county had ever done. Are hard work had finally payed off.

I know all about hard work since this is what I have done since I started playing football. Last year I was an all state defensive end. I earned this by busting my butt on the field and sometimes off the field, but one thing was for sure, I was putting forth hard work. Hard work paid off for me because after the season I had the most tackles and all district player and had an all state before my name. I was happy for the hard work I had put forth.

Through all the hard practices and all the tiring games I realized that there may be a reward waiting on me. I started getting lots of letters from all different colleges. I realized that I could get a scholarship because of all of the hard work that I had done on an off the field. I hope at the end of this year some college has seen my talent and is willing to give me a scholarship for all my hard work.

All I am trying to say is that everyone has to put hard work into anything you are going to do, if you want the reward they think you deserve. No matter what you are doing or the cause hard work will be worthwhile and the feeling will be overwhelming. Hard work pays off This I Believe.
