Boing! Boing! Boing!

Hi everyone, I am Springy, and I am happy to be here to tell you about how high I can bounce. That’s right, I bounce. Wait! Before you dismiss what I am saying let me borrow your attention for just a few moments. Let me explain. I am a spring, and I am designed to perform my best under great pressure.

As my things push down on me I push back. No matter how hard objects press down on me I find a way to push them back up. Sometimes I need help from my other springy friends, but we manage the weight. The teamwork helps us manage the heavy load and hold up our end of the workload.

There have been times where I get flung around causing me to fly across the air and land hard on the floor. It does not bother me because as hard as I hit that floor I bounce back up. The harder I land the higher I bounce. See what I mean?

I bet you are asking yourself why I am telling you my life story. Let me explain, no matter what happens, how heavy the pressure is, or how hard you get thrown around in life, you are resilient. Do not give into the pressure. Do not be afraid to accept help from others to get you through those tough times. You are just like me, a strong spring ready to bounce back.
