ZANE CARROLL
• Hello Mrs. Tucker. As You Are Aware, I'm Writing You This Letter To
Tell About Myself. I'm 14 Years Old, Having Been Born 4/10/1998.
My Favorite Sport Is Between Football And Baseball, And Other
Hobbies Include Watching T.V., Listening To Just About Any Type Of
Music But Pop, Drawing, Hunting And Fishing, And Reading Various
Kinds Of Books. I'm A Christian, But Not Like Some Of Them Who
Proclaim And Put On A Front. I Guess To Sum It All Up, I'm My Own
Uniqua Individual With Tastes That Sometimes Do Match Up With
The Masses, But Sometimes Don't. In The End, I Would Say I'm Not
Pink Floyd's Other Brick In The Wall; Rather, I'm A Mostly Peaceful
Person That Attempts To Not Pass Judgement. I Hope I Didn't Sound
Like I Was Overtalking Myself, And Wish You Good Days
Sincerely, Zane Carroll

Dear whomever,
My name is Frances Dickson-Vandervelde. I am thirteen years old, and my birthday is December
14. I am the youngest in the QUEST program and the second youngest in my graduating class. I
usually do exceptionally well in all of my classes, but I am best at math. I hate doing homework
because I find it too easy, but I endure it so I can achieve my elaborate dream house when I'm older.
I am not very athletic, but I do enjoy ping pong and I want to start martial arts training. I prefer
sedentary activities like drawing, reading, sleeping, playing video games, playing card games,
playing bored games, and watching Japanese animation (anime). I also enjoy acting (mainly
improvising and pantomiming), juggling, and playing the cello.
I also like making pitiful puns. For example in the previous paragraph I made a pun of bored and
board.
My favorite type of music is classical, but I enjoy most music. My favorite color is SHINY black. My
favorite food would have to be chocolate, and my life ambition is to have a giant sunflower field in
France with a labyrinth for a house and have a cafe at the edge with an architect firm on top and an
aquarium underneath. I also hope to be a professional musician. I apologize if this is too long to
read, or if I seem a bit crazy.
Sincerely,
Frances Dickson-Vandervelde :)

JAYDA

Hi there!
•
Please to meet you! My name is Jayda and I am
14 years old and in the 9th grade. I like to sing,
dance, and draw. Oh and video games are pretty
fun too. I have dark brown hair and brown eyes.I
am also a "Artist of Boredom". You know when you
are really bored, and you start to just draw? That's
what I do. When I am bored, I start to draw, and
when I am done I realize I have created a
masterpiece, and I eventually end up keeping it
because I like it so much rather than throwing it
away like usual. I have two little brothers, one is 9
years old and the other is 8 years old. I'm looking
forward to another letter back!
Vous parler plus tard!
Jayda
