Mom, Dad
Mom, Dad, I know that I’m a little late. Ok, I’m a lot late. But let me tell you what happened. It all started when I arrived at school today. There was this new student in my first period class today. Never saw him before. He sat right in front of me, turned around and said, “Hello Katie.” Of course, I was shocked. I had no idea who he was.

Chicken Soup with Rice
When I was a little kid, my mother would always get these books for the children to read. This is why I love to read and write now. We had Dr. Seuss books, Little Golden Books, and Sweet Pickel books. My brothers and I would love to get the Sweet Pickel books. The back inside cover would display a map of the fictional town of Sweet Pickels. One of the houses on the map was red and blue. It slightly resembled our house which was red and blue. I don’t remember any of the stories, but that house was enough for us to love the books.
