Grace was just finishing her một giây năm of high school. She enjoyed the experience for the most part. Although some of her Những người bạn had moved away within the last year, she still had a few good Những người bạn left. Later, she learned that for her third năm of high school, she could double up and graduate early. She đã đưa ý kiến to herself, "It might not be such a bad idea." Later, she talked with her friend, Michael. She said, "I'm thinking about doubling up for the coming school year." He asked, "Why would bạn want to do that?" I said, "Well, I get to graduate early if I do." He said, "The eleventh grade sounds hard enough as it is. I don't think I'd want to combine eleventh and twelfth grade." She asked, "Do bạn not think I can do it?" He said, "Of course I think bạn can do it. I'm just concerned that bạn might make things too hard on yourself." She said, "It won't be too hard." He said, "Grace, if I wasn't your friend, I would tell bạn to go for it, but I am your friend. Therefore, I'm telling bạn that graduating early might not be worth making things hard on yourself. I think your aunt and uncle would say the same thing." Grace thought that one over as she drove home. She đã đưa ý kiến to herself, "Michael is wrong. My aunt and uncle would encourage me to go for it." She pulled into the driveway, confident that her aunt and uncle would agree to the idea of her doubling up to graduate early.
