Little Johnny was not known for his enthusiasm or dedication when it came to school. His math grades were plummeting, much to his parents’ dismay. They knew something had to change, so they made a bold decision – they enrolled him in a local Catholic school.
On the first day, Johnny came home without uttering a single word. He quietly went up to his bedroom and diligently started working on his math homework. Four hours later, he emerged victorious, having completed all of his assignments.
The next day, the same thing happened. Johnny disappeared into his room and resurfaced only when his math work was done. The pattern continued for several days. Intrigued by this sudden transformation, his parents decided to pay him a visit.
They climbed the stairs and knocked on his bedroom door. “Johnny, what’s gotten into you? You’re working so hard!” they exclaimed, unable to contain their curiosity.
Johnny looked up from his textbooks and replied with a gleam in his eye, “Well, when I walked into my math class on the first day and saw a teacher nailed to a plus sign on the blackboard, I knew they meant business!”
Little Johnny’s witty observation had caught his parents off guard, but they couldn’t help but be proud of his newfound dedication. This amusing anecdote showcases how a change of environment can spark the motivation to succeed.
