But it's a long-term insurance. You will be widening your horizons. Most of what they're doing is having a laugh wasting time. You'll always have a chance to do that. You won't have this chance again. You have two lives, school and being with your mates. They only have one. ——————————————————————————————————3/3— 60 words max. Letters may bj amended.
