Práctica Independiente Complete your worksheet. Write out your sentences (surprise!) and complete with the correct conjugation of the verb in parentheses. Cuando terminas (when you are done), see your maestra for an index card. On the blank side, write the name of someone who motivates you to do your best. This could also be yourself, if you are your own biggest motivator. On the lined side, write a somewhat detailed explanation of why this person motivates you, what they have done to become your motivation, and what you will do to make that person proud!

I work hard today to justify every single sacrifice she made for me.
