While in High School I encountered all different kinds of
people. Some were nice, others were not, and there was always that small group
of guys that always voiced their opinion and let others know what was on their
minds. No matter what others thought or felt of their opinion. My friend Ray
was one of those people.
Ray was a very easygoing guy; he never started any trouble, never disrespected
anyone, and never quit. He always excelled in everything he did, he never let
himself quit any activity no matter how hard it was, and if he got a low grade
he would practice the material until he got it down pact. I remember one time
-when he and I were taking the same English 101 in high school- when he
got back a three page essay and the teacher gave him a B-. Ray almost
immediately asked if he could re-do it and the teacher allowed him and anyone
else who wanted to re-do it. If it had been me, I would have settled for the B-
but no not Ray, he took it back re- wrote it and got himself and A+. I remember
him saying after getting back the paper:
\"That\'s the way I like it!\"
We all laughed and congratulated him. Though the class was boring we all did
pretty good.
