Dear Susan,
ReplyDeleteHi my name is Danielle I go to queen mary public school!I am in grade six and in Mr.Woollacotts class! It is great to be writing to you.
Wow you do a lot of stuff in a day!
I suprised you don't just break down crying.
You are my role model I want to be a athlete, a popstar or alawyer when I grow up.
I have a question for you... Why do grown ups like coffee so much it is like they live on coffee.
Your blog is awesome. Track and feild for me started in grade four,in grade four I won a ribbon High jump 3rd place,and shotput 6th place,and in grade five I won a ribbon which was in high jump 3rd place.
I hope I win a ribbon this year.
You so totally Rock!
Sincerely,
Danielle
Hi Danielle,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your support. It is really encouraging for me to read your post! I do work hard and I do love it, but it isn't always easy. Some days I do break down and that's what this week's post is about ... but like I've mentioned before, I think strength of character is having the courage to keep going even when it's hard and trust you'll be stronger for it.
Looking forward to meeting you and your classmates in just over a week!
Susan
ps. congratulations on your ribbons! I remember when I was back at QM and won my first ribbons ... I still have them at home! :>
