Have you ever heard the saying, Rome wasn't built in a day?  This means that it can sometimes take a long time to do something that is worthwhile or complicated.  Write about something you did that took more time or effort than you expected.  How do you feel about the way things turned out?

I have two things that took a lot more effort than expected:

1.  Algebra.  Algebra took a while and I honestly don't think it was worth it.  I'm sure I'll change my mind when I'm older but, right now, it's JUST NOT WORTH IT.  I'm telling you!  It's taking me a while because some subjects are more complicated than other subjects.  And I know I've said it a lot, but it's not worth it. 

2.  Getting braces.  I don't have them yet because I have three extra teeth that need to be surgically removed out of the bottom of my gums.  Pretty interesting huh?  Yeah, braces have been more than they needed to be.  But I think it will end up being worth it.
