Hi Richard,
My new school is great! It is very different to Harper Valley. It is
called Harrison High School and it is really cool. I don’t have to wear
a uniform anymore and I don’t have to go to all of the classes. I do go to
most of them though, because they are very interesting, and I have to be
on time or they don’t let me in. I don’t have homework anymore and I don’t
have to present exams. However, now I have to turn in lots of projects.
So, now I don’t have to carry a schoolbag every day. The only things I
have to take to school are my ID and my lunch, because there isn’t a
cafeteria here. I really miss the cafeteria at Harper Valley.
As you can imagine, I am very happy at my new school. The strange thing
is that having so much freedom is teaching me to be responsible. How are
things at Harper Valley?
Write back soon.
Hugs,
Andrea
