Bible Quizzing Research Paper
It Started With Hard Work November 10 2016 By: Jayden Thomas
My Bible Quizzing experiences were usually fun, sometimes stressful, but I will say that in the end it was all worth it. The learning, the stress, and the pressure, changed me and made me realize an important lesson. That hard work is the ONLY way to truly be good at something. And that is a lesson that I think would be a good one for everyone to learn. I feel that it would change our lives. I know that it changed mine.

With our team, and amazing coach, we made it to Nationals. Bro. Lance was almost always with us and telling us how amazing we were and how lucky he was to be our coach. Through every win and loss, he was there. The only time I remember him getting mad at me was when I licked clean 3 packets of Nutella. Raw. I’ll say sorry
