How Do You Feel When You Achieve Your Goals?
When I achieve my goal I will be very happy because I only have one. I feel happy when I have achieved my pen licence for 2 years in a row. I got one in year 3 and then in year 4. Also, I felt really happy when i moved up to twenty words for spelling for 4 years in year 1,2,3 and now in year 4. By K.H
