Examples of slacking in a Sentence
When it first happened I didn't look at it and say,' Oh my God like how dare we do this ?' I was like,' Why is everybody complaining ? I was confused what we did.' That's embarrassing to admit, i wasn't slacking in high school. I don't want to discredit myself to the point where I was like I have all this and I also didn't care. I really did care. I was also a very involved student.
