2. Life Lessons
What have you learned?

3. Life Lessons Everyday we learn something-
whether it’s fractions in math or
not to wash a red sweatshirt with the white tees-

4. The Easy Way or The Hard Way
Sometimes we learn things the easy way-
For example: Mom told me not to wash the reds with the whites because it will turn everything pink. I believed her, so I never mix the reds and whites. I learned the easy way that I MUST separate my laundry.
Sometimes we learn things the hard way-
For example: Mom told me not to wash the reds with whites because it will turn everything pink. I chose NOT to believe her and decided to throw in the new red towel with my whites. Now, I have no more white tees and I have to save money to buy more because my mom said she told me not to do it and I chose to to do it anyway. I had to learn the hard way that mixing reds with whites turns all the whites pink.
