He mocked the idea of giving up, bellowed at the sky as if it owed him an answer. He hastily packed his things, ready to leave the city behind.

“Throw in the towel,” his friend had said, “you’re not cut out for this.”

Regardless of the words, he refused to listen. There was no quitting now. He’d come this far.

The taxi roared off, and the city faded behind him. It didn’t matter where he was headed; what mattered was that he was still going, still fighting.

And for the first time in ages, he felt free.

A few days later, I got my paper back. I failed again. Unable to hold back my tears, I let it all out like a waterfall. The class bully walked over and started mocking me about it.

At home, I yelled at my mother again. Finally, she asked "What do you want, then"? I thought for a while before replying "Music."

From then on, I became a composer and pianist.

"Give me your money little boy!"I heard a bold sound bellow.

I looked up and saw Bully Chan and his henchmen. Before I could react, his henchmen snatched my wallet. "Thank you for the money, I have earned a lot from you."Bully Chan mocked.

'Irene and Jane, focus please,' Ms. Tan bellowed. Jane knew she had to do something about Irene regardless of anything that happens. Irene would annoy her during class and even during breaktimes! Her friends have tried to convince Jane to tell the teacher, but she never had the courage to do that.

After weeks of Jane's friends trying to convince her, she decided to stand up for herself and tell the teacher. Irene regretted doing that, and she threw in the towel about bullying others.

It was the first day of school for me, I tried to ignore the them and tried to melt into the background. During recess, the girls kept following me and teasing me about my short hair.

i ran to a quiet spot and hid there, praying that the girls won't find me there."hi,I am Liming, who are you？”I turned around, stunned to find a girl with blond curls standing bravely infront of me.She told me that she told the teachers about the mean girls on her first day of school and they got scolded badly.

“Yah but what if they scold me？”I replied hastily wanted to not tell the teacher but the girl kept pestering me.Finally,I threw in the towel and went with her. The mean girls overheard our conversation and bellowed“please, forgive us!!“.Regardless of that, I mustered all my courage and went to talk with the teacher.

And when his classmates have a fight, he will throw in the towel and say who is at fault-but he purposely say the who is innocent is at fault.

When he is angry, he will bellow rude words, not caring what other people thinks-regardless who it is.

Mark my words, if you see him ,you will understand what I'm talking about.

Not understanding him, I looked at him in the eyes. after a long time of pleading, he replied me, "I want to donate it."

"Seventy dollars won't do much, "I said, trying to mock him, hastily handing him a

five-dollar note.

Regardless of the money I gave him, he refused to throw in the towel, sincerely saying thank you and while walking away.

It took me a year, no, two years to finally see fruit of the hard work that he had put in.

looking at a few hundred-dollar notes in his hand left for charity, I understood how five dollars could make a difference.

"Look who's already tired!" Sam groaned as he heard a dreaded voice shout. "I am surprised that you are tired already!" the person mocked. Just as Sam expected, it was the class bully, Bill. He hastily jumped to his feet, not wanting to look weak.

"I'm fine," he muttered to Bill and took off again, though he wasn't fine at all. Regardless of everything Bill said, Sam was determined to win that competition.

Weeks passed in a blink of an eye, and the running competition arrived. Just before the competition, Bill whispered in Sam's ear, "Hope you don't come last," although he sounded like that was exactly what Bill wanted.

The competition ended and Sam raised the big golden trophy above his head. He came in first for the competition. Sam was glad that he won the competition, but he was even happier that Bill threw in the towel after he lost. Running classes would be much better now!
