Park District instructors are on hand to teach and assist. “said manager Rafacl Maritinex. Who oversees the program. “they’ll get a chance to take part in a whole bunch of different sports, and it also gives parents a couple hours of free time while their kids are enjoying themselves in a safe setting.”

Last month, I find that my little brother looked up to me. I noticed he started copying way that I was dressed. He even began copying my ways of speaking and greet my friends. At first, I thought that he was play jokes. So I yelled at him, “Knock it off ”. Much with my surprise, he burst in to tear. Then I realized that what he was doing those things just because he admired me. To comfort my sadly brother, I took him to shop at the store of a blue shirt like me. Our mother smiled proud when we happily came back home in our shirts.
