Can you please give a summary for this?

We Answered:

Sharon Scott tells the story of a boy who was smart enough to become an astronaut, which is what he wanted to do. He worked hard in school and wanted the teacher to like him. This made the other kids on class tease him. He really wants to be liked, so he shifted his attention away from the teacher, to trying to get the other kids to like him. He started slacking off, because that's what the other kids did.

Slacking off would hurt his chances to become an astronaut, and he became sad. He had a choice to either slack off and fit in with the other kids, or study hard to become an astronaut and getting teased.
