I like to work out every day. I probably spend more time in a gym than I spend studying. Lots of people tell me that I spend too much time there. My teachers really don’t like it and told my parents that I should read more. I think that it’s more than ok to spend the amount of time I do pumping iron.
One day, I was heading to the gym and I saw a car accident. The two cars were smashed together pretty hard, so I ran over to help. I was able to rip on of the car doors off so that the passenger could get out to safety. No one told me that I spend too much time at the gym that day!
