Charlie's letter home

Each week we write letters home. Charlie wrote an outstanding letter home this week and wanted to publish it:


Dear Mom and Dad,
How are you doing?
I am having fun and seeing new places. The group is having problems. They are working on their problems.
We saw some deer, boar and a roadrunner. I’m learning new things. I found out what I want to do in my life: I want to travel around the world and be a photojournalist.
I want to go back and graduate from Breham and be able to get a job. I messed up and I admit that. I sometimes take what people say the wrong way.
I’ve learned that to be mature you must chose your own battles.. I’ve also learned that if you push your self and keep trying, you feel better about yourself. If you push yourself far enough you can do anything you want.
My father says that if you put yourself in other people’s shoes and you look at things from all different angles, you have a better perspective on what you did wrong, and how you can do better the next time.
If you imagine the world without any school, what would it be? I think no one would be as smart as they could be - no one would have computers and they wouldn’t know how to do math.
Learn and see how the world changes! See that to be successful in life you need to go to school. Yet, there are other ways to get an education. Know how the laws work and how to read. Math and reading are used every day. Look at history, science and health to see how life works. The number one thing in life is getting a great education. Doing your best in school is also important.
Show the world your best by getting an education in school and show that you can do anything you dream you can do. If you have a dream, do it!
Thank you for coming down for my birthday!

Love,
Charlie
