I Used To... Example :

I used to have a nap time
But now I stay up late.
I always loved recess
But I never play any more.
I once thought I could fly
But now I know that isn't true.
If I could fly
I would travel around the world.
I never thought I would get good grades
But I might be able to graduate
I can't imagine getting old
But I can think what life would be like in high school
I won't dream without working hard
But I might play along the way to my goals
I used to play a lot
But now I know that hard work and passion will help me succeed.
