He worked very hard and always got very good grades. He not only did well in his classes but was also very active in sports. He got up very early every morning to practice running; he never took the bus but always ran to school. A year ago he won a silver medal in the 800-metre race at the school sports meet. As a reward, his parents bought him something that they had wanted him to have for a long time—a computer. Suddenly, something began to change. John stopped getting up early and never ran to school. His interest in sports suddenly disappeared. Sometimes he got up so late that he would miss school. Soon his grades began to suffer.In the middle of one night, John’s mother saw a light on in his room. She went in and discovered John playing computer games late. This was the cause of his change! He had been playing computer games into the middle of the night ever since he got his computer. He suffered from lack of sleep, which of course had a bad effect on his studies. His mother knew that this must be stopped. The next day she had a serious talk with John. Instead of taking away his computer, she told him he was old enough to learn to control himself.John was ashamed by his mother’s kind words and promised to change immediately.66.
