Hard Work Pays Off

Last week I went to the State Horse Contest, it was fun but it was a 4 hour drive. When we got there I was sooo happy, I was sooo tired. When we got inside, the first thing I did was...I went to lay in my hotel bed, OH YEAH. But I was not tired anymore because we were going to swim. It was fun, we had a great time, including my baby brother. The next day my dad said, "WAKE UP! You need to get up" and I said "NO!" because I was sleeping ..but I got up anyway I got dressed fast as I could. At the Contest I was nervous, but excited too. Then it was MY TURN! But don't worry I made it! YAY!  Then came REWARDS! I was scared, my mom said "you might not place," but.........I DID! I got .......2nd PLACE! So like I said, I learned that hard work pays off.
