October 11, 2018 Dear Mom, I am writing this letter to tell you about the classes I am struggling in, the classes I do well in, and why I have the grade I have in my classes. I am also writing this to thank you for all you have done for me. I have a C in English and Spanish. The reason I have a C in English is because I forget to do my English homework. So, if you wouldn’t mind telling me to get out my homework and helping me, I should have perfect grades in English instead of that little stupid C. I have a C in Spanish because I have forgotten to my homework. So, if you don’t mind helping me remember I will have an A in no time and that C will despair.
Ihave a B in Math, a B in Computer Applications, a B in Science, anA- in P.E., and an A+ in band. I have a B in Math because I understand what Mr. Hunter says. If you will please help me remember that I have homework every day that would help a lot. I have a b in Computer Applications because Mrs. Gordon Is an amazing teacher who makes sure you understand and if you don’t, she tells you were to go look in the book and I do my work. You can’t help me in this class because the only reason I have a B in this class is because I turned in my syllabus late. I have a B in science because I understand what she teaches, and I do my work instead of goofing off and write down what she tells to write down and use my notes when she lets us. If you would please help me make sure I get my homework done before I go to bed every night. I have an A- in P.E. Because I do what he tells us to do and dress done when we must. I have an A+ in band because of you helping me learn all the different scales we must learn and because I work hard to make sure I play all the right notes and enjoy all the stuff he teaches us.
Thank you, mom, for helping me when I struggle, when I succeed, and when I fall flat on my face. Thank you for standing by my side and learning with me during baseball. Thank you for helping me learn how to hunt, fish, play football, wrestle, and helping with my homework.
Your loving and caring son,
Robbie Allen Staffen
