So grown up

So I hopped on the computer this morning to get a little homework in and there was a document left open. It was an assignment for Abbys English class. It was a little letter to the teacher about each student, a getting to know you type of assignment. I thought it was very interesting what Abby had to say about herself. She really is quite grown up!

Dear Mrs. Hales,

My name is Abby McCallister; I would like to tell you some things about myself. My favorite hobby is dance; I have been dancing since I was three years old. I have one mom and one dad. I also have one little sister and one little brother, my little brother passed away when I was only six years old. I have a lot of friends, all of them are funny and kind, something funny about me is that I tell very funny jokes, or at least my little sister thinks so.

This summer I went to Henderson, Nevada. My Grandma and Grandpa live there. While my sister and I where there, their where about two flash floods! We went shopping a couple of times, I love to shop! We stayed in Henderson for about two weeks; we had a fabulous time while we were there. If you have not been to Henderson, Nevada you should go their, it is a beautiful place and it has an excellent ampha-theator!

I went to Alta View Elementary school. My class in sixth grade was a fifth/ sixth split. I liked that I had the same teacher for both fifth and sixth grade; I was in a split class both years. I did not like all of the drama in sixth grade. In my sixth grade year I had a teacher named Mrs. Foltz, she was the best!

This year, I am looking forward to all of the new students that I will meet, who are just as scared and excited as I am. I can’t wait to decorate my locker! My locker is not hard to open at all, can you believe that? I am so excited to meet all of the different teachers; I hope that all of the teachers are willing to give all of their attention to the students so that it is easier for the students to learn! I am also happy about the extra lunch choices!

In the next ten years I would like to get straight A’s! I would absolutely love to complete high school. I want to write at least three excellent poems and get them published so that other people can enjoy reading them as much as I did writing them! Another one of my goals is to become as good as or even better than my dad at playing the electric guitar. Now you know about; me, some of my hobbies, my family, my goals, and my most recent summer.


Sincerely,
Abigail McCallister
