wanted to be like. He was always getting the best grades,
the most awards, and the most recognition. Sam was as
competitive as John, but he was a little bit more laid back.
He was content with getting good grades, but he didn't
need the recognition that John received from his
accomplishments.
One day, John and Sam were competing to get the highest
grade in a class. Sam was determined to beat John and
prove to everyone that he was just as smart as John. He
worked hard and studied for hours. In the end, John ended
up getting the highest grade in the class. Sam was
disappointed, but he was also proud of his friend for his
accomplishment. He knew that John had worked hard and
deserved the recognition he received.
From that day on, Sam and John had a friendly rivalry in
the classroom. Whenever they competed for the highest
grade, they both worked hard and gave their best. In the
end, they both knew that they were friends and that the
competition was all in good fun.
