I feel as if I'm always apologizing for getting back to you so late, but it has been a very hectic few months. We are in the most important part of track season at the moment, we just had prom, and graduation is Friday. Everything is drawing to a close, yet I feel as if there is more to do than ever. Today is my last day of high school ever. It's crazy to think that after thirteen years of public schooling, I'll be out on my own soon. I'm both scared and excited, both happy and sad, but I am ready for the new chapter in my life to start.
I love that you are making goals and trying to reach them, but try not to be so hard on yourself! Calling yourself fat is more harmful than it is helpful to you. Try to compliment yourself on what you're doing right rather than your faults. You are a beautiful, smart girl, so remember that!
I enjoy much of the music that you listed, along with a lot of lesser known indie music. I always find it so surprising that American music is popular around the world, yet we hardly hear music from other countries. I wonder why that is?
Since today is the last day of classes for me, we have also been given the option to say our goodbyes and discontinue communication with you, or to continue on even after school is over. As for me, I would be happy to continue communicating and I feel like I will have much more time to reply once I am no longer in classes. So, please reply with your decision. I look forward to hearing from you again!
Sincerely,
Sophia
Dear Betty,

It is very interesting to hear about the similar social issues that our countries share, despite the vast cultural differences. It is wonderful to hear that your country faces much less sexism than ours, because it is still a very big issue here.
As far as having WEIXIN or QQ, I have honestly never heard of those applications before. I can check to see if they are available here, but I am not sure they are.

To my creative writing comrades: I have truly enjoyed all the afternoons we've shared in class. Some of us go way back to film as lit, and a few of you knew me in elementary school when I was the kid with glasses that pretended she was a horse. Those were the days. It hasn't really settled in that there won't be another class we share in the same way, but I'm ready for the future and the adventure and experiences it has to offer and I hope you guys are too. I know for a fact all of you are going to make some awesome mistakes and also put greatness out into the world just like I am. What a treat it has been to share the warm, creative space of Mrs. Fraser's class with you lovely people. I'm looking forward to the future and what it holds for us.
ReplyDeleteUpon entering this class I had no idea what to expect from my classmates. Each of you is bold, creative, humorous and inspiring. Each of your pieces is full of character and is well written. I know each of you will be amazing and life will bring you happiness and success, but only if you are an active participant. Good luck, don't get too lost out there.
