21.1.1 Jayden is talking with his mother about his studies.

Jayden: Mom. I’m so sick of studying. My brain hurts.

Mother:  Jayden.  You  know  that  success  comes  from  hard  work.  It’s  not

about luck. You have to make opportunities for yourself. The best way to

do that is to study hard.

Jayden: I know, I know. It’s just so hard sometimes.

Mother:  Working  your  whole  life  in  a  dead-end  job  you  hate  is  hard.
