Hi Ella, I really enjoyed reading your letter to your younger self. I really enjoyed the personal story that you started off with. I think that everyone can relate to learning to read a clock and tell time for the first time. This story helped to show how your connection with time started. You also did this again with your candles so I thought it was a very unique way to tie everything together. The message of your letter is very important and showed that change and growth is okay even if it seems scary. Thank you for sharing!

I really enjoyed reading your letter. I completely agree love is so powerful and is definitely capable of healing. I loved the way you explained what love means to you and the type that you feel the most. Love is truly capable of saving people and getting them through their toughest times. You are so strong and it is amazing and inspiring that after everything you have been through you still see and find the power of love. Great letter!

Hi, I thought your poem was beautiful and I truly enjoyed reading it. I thought your word choice was perfect and everything fit so well together. Most importantly I loved the message of your poem. It really made me think about how important our actions truly are and how almost everything we do will somehow impact another person. It also reminded me of the saying put yourself in their shoes. If it was you that had to deal with the consequences of your actions instead of another person would you still do them? I loved your poem because it really made me think about my own life and how my actions can impact other people. Thank you for sharing!

I absolutely loved reading your letter. The impact that she has had on your life is clear and inspiring. I personally have two sisters and while we are blood-related I saw many similarities in our relationships. I would not be the person that I am today without them. They are the first people I come to for advice or even just to talk to them about minor inconvinces. I know that they will always be there for me no matter what and that I can trust them with anything . I look to both of them for different things and have learned so much from each of them. Wether blood related or not having sisters is truly something special. Thank you for sharing your letter.

Hi Gerald, I really enjoyed reading your letter to your teacher. Ms.Child seems like a wonderful teacher and the impact that she had on you is clear. I completely understand the feeling of needing to survive a class or just get through a subject until everything changes and you find a subject you are actually passionate about and this is always likely due to a special teacher. For me, this subject was English as well because it was the first time a teacher taught in a way that truly made everything click for me. Again I really enjoyed your letter. Great Job!
