54 days ago, Leala peeked at the skills she needed to do for 7th grade. She had just completed 6th grade the day before, but was eager to know what was next. She did one skill that day and another skill the next day. Once Monday came, she dove straight in and mastered a record-breaking 50 skills! There was no stopping her.
