Question

Pritee's eyes were glow worms in the dark. She could see the best in every situation. The year she broke her leg before the cheerleading competition, she showed up for practice every morning wearing her cast in order to support her team. Then, she walked like a pendulum. But, she made it to the gym wearing a smile wider than the football field. And, who could forget the time she started a fundraiser for the local animal shelter. Pritee was an inspiration for all of us at Memorial High.
