A possible version:
It was exciting to go to school again but it was no game. Sitting in a classroom full of kids was awkward, even if most of them were respectful and encouraging. During the day, I was still a busy married woman having loads of housework to do. In the evening, I was a hardworking student working on my courses. To my surprise, both Linda and I did very well in night school. I went back again the next semester, and my grades steadily improved.
Linda and I saw each other through the time. When I was down, Linda encouraged me. "Mom, you can't quit now!" And when she was down, I encouraged her. I have to say it was a time which was really hard on both of us. But neither of us gave up. At last, I got my diploma. To my surprise, almost all of my classmates voted for me to be class speaker, and I got a $3,000 college scholarship. The unfinished business in my dreams was eventually finished.

W: Oh, no! I forgot all about it, Matt. She has one every June, doesn't she? I missed the last one.
M: It's a lot of fun. You should really come!

M: Ms. Anthony, this homework is really difficult. Can you give us some help with the answers?
W: No, but I'll allow you to work in groups this time. Then one person from each group will present the answers to the class in the end.

W: Sometimes I just wish I were a flower. Look at them getting watered over there...it looks so refreshing! And we're here sweating in gym class while Mr. Filbert makes us run like the wind!
M: I'd rather be a dog, taking a nap in the shade and beating the heat!
