My Progress

Dear Teachers of GMS,

This is a letter about my progress and how you have helped me, and can helped me more. Thank You for your help.

It is sometimes hard to talk about my progress because a lot of the time I don't like focusing on me, me, me. I don't take a good look at my progress except on report cards. Which, as you know, only comes three times a year. Why? I honestly don't know. I guess I am focusing more on what I'm learning, where I'm going, and Having fun with my family and friends.

When I was little I was very stubborn. I still am. In this way I somehow handicapped my learning of speech and spelling. I grew Physically before academically. I was inching across the floor at 2 weeks, flipping my car seat off the counter at 3 months, and walking at 10 months. My brother was exactly the opposite. For example;My brother would say One-Two-free-four, When my dad noticed that he wasn't pronouncing the 3 right he would correct him, saying,

"No Caleb, It's One-Two-THree-four" Caleb would copy him to the letter, even emphasising the T-H sound. I ,on the other hand, frankly didn't care. Dad would correct me and I would stubbornly say 'That's what I said, One-Two-free-Four.' I have long since entered into a public school, and learned that when an adult corrects you they're usually right. Usually. My first grade teacher also taught me the wonder of reading, and since then I have excelled. My reading, writing, spelling, vocabulary, and grammar has improved. All of that from learning to read!

I think my next step will be to write instead of read books. I have entered into the world of reading and would like to contribute some reading materials to the following generations. To express myself into my books through my characters. To write my own style. Create my own endings. I could show those writers how its done. Well, some of those writers. Some of them I will always look to for advice. They will give me example of what to and not to do.

GMS will also help me. They give me teachers ready to help. They equip us with a blog, and time to write. They have a big library to give me more materials to study and have fun with. GMS is a place where friends can meet, to give me suggestions. The teachers are very good, and there is a variety of teachers with a variety of questions and words of praise. GMS also teaches me different ways to write my own pieces. Thank You GMS. Your help is valuable.

But you can help me more! I think it would be easier in school if we had time to work on our homework in class. I also think that this would help kids actually get their homework done, and then they could also understand it. We also would have more time to study at home (Or write Books!). Maybe we could also not have to work in groups all the time. It helps me if I can just do my work and not have to worry that the other person is doing their share. And one more thing, It would really help my consience if we used less paper. If we printed on both sides, or maybe didn't use paper at all, we would use way less trees.

Thank You,
Your student
