Convincing

One time I had to convice someone of something was when I got my phone. I got it by promising my parents certain responsibilities that i would have to keep up with, such as going to swimming whenever it was scheduled, getting good grades, not staying home, and watching TV. I also could not be on the internet all day long, which is what I did most of the time. Before recently I was not fulfilling my tasks successfully, however once second semester started I have been trying harder, and i have been doing more productive things in my free time rather than being on my laptop or iPhone all day long. Instead i have been studying, or doing my assignments. Since my parents have seen my improvement I am able to keep my phone, and not have it taken away.
