A letter from Oct 11, 2024

Dear G, You've done wonderfully, look at all you have accomplished, lab work before 17, good grades, surviving Block's class. You are amazing. Keep up the good work. I am so proud of you and the person you are becoming. Stay smart, but not proud; do not be afraid to fail; be able to do hard things to get what you want or need; treat people kindly even when they do not give you that curtesy; you can be kind, but you don't have to be nice; lastly be able to make the most of the time you have. You are a wonderful person and you are going to have a great year. You can enjoy your last year at school and not get too stressed. Goodluck, may you go many places, learn many things and do many things. Have a wonderful time. Mom is sad about this, G, she thinks you are all grown up now, and are no longer the little kid she knew. Strange, really, it seems she only loves you once she thinks she's loosing you. But I will always treat you as a friend, like we always have been. Have fun learning about fungi, bacteria, and algae, or whatever you are doing. Sincerely, Also G P.S. Why do you like me signing off like that? You've known me since birth you should be able to tell when I am writing you a letter.
