Our school day went from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. However, some days I had cheerleading (啦啦队) practice or play practice at 6:30 a.m. If I had cheerleading practice I got ready at school, and if I had time, I ate breakfast at the school cafeteria.
Then I would head to my locker and take my books for the first period. Each class went for about 50 minutes and we had 4 minutes to get to the next class. We studied everything from science to math and Spanish to P.E.
I played the piano in band, so one of my class periods was used for that. Lunchtime would be at 12:30 p.m. and afterwards we had some time to hang out outside or by our lockers. At the end of the day there was a seminar period. It could be used for studying or meetings.
After school, I would cheer at a basketball game, be a lifeguard (救生员) at work or have speech practice. My family always tried to have dinner together at around 7 p.m., but there wasn’t always time. I would finally start studying at around 8 or 9 p.m.

The project began on August 24. The three other girls in the group have different abilities. My group gave up our lunch break so that we would have more time to work. One girl in my group asked about my design, saying that we should shorten the text and leave more space for pictures. The arguments (争论) between us made me sad from time to time, but whenever there was an argument, I tried to stay calm. I thought hard about whether or not to take her suggestions and then made some changes. I found that she had a lot of good ideas. As time went by, even when I couldn’t take part in practice. I wasn’t worried about leaving the project to her.
Finally, it was time for our project to be shown. Our teacher said that no matter what the results might be, our efforts (努力) would not be wasted.
Our class finally won first prize in the competition. Our teacher was right. The result was not the most important. I had never seen a class with such a strong sense of group honor, and at that moment, I realized that I was working with a great group of students.
