As a student, there are times when I come across a group of <em>overdue </em>assignments that need to be turned in by a certain date and time. Many times when this happens, I feel <em>overloaded </em>and swamped with work<em>. </em>Normally when I am stressed out, I don't want to go <em>overboard</em>, so I try to calm myself down by doing something I enjoy, like going for walks. Naturally I would grab my <em>overcoat</em> because it is still a little chilly outside, and I would take a stroll around the neighboring area. There is this little dirt road, <em>overhung</em> by trees that I love to walk down. After a stressful day it is the best feeling to enjoy a little peace and quiet.

The idea is that those who fall into a life of crime never progress in their reading abilities beyond third grade.
