English 106: First-Year Composition

Hey,
You know by now I would expect nieces and nephews to spoil, maybe a kid or two, and if you can find a guy you can live with, a great guy. I expect a lucrative job at a wonderful place that I love going every day. This would be what I would expect, if I didn't know myself so well.
Who knows, people change. You could be a really happy individual. If not your probable the nosy neighbor or the women always out of town(business or pleasure, nobody really knows). Just try not to lose your self in what ever you happen to be involved in.
Try not to lose any great friends and make an effort to be sociable and don't let your self slip into obscurity. You know how easy that can be, we learned it second semester. Lessons hopefully learned, loved, and lived by.
Stay strong, stay smart, and love often.
Love Me.

Hey,
Sorry I messed up first year, I know it was pretty hard to pull back from it. If things are at all what I think they will be like I would be glad to say that I'm proud to be me. That may have been a wee-bit conceded, but I will always be proud of me, no matter what.Remember work smarter, not harder.

Dear Mini Pam,

In all seriousness I know that you don't want to talk to anyone right now. Know that it will get better. Momma will be happy again, Uncle Timmy loves you, and you do still have friends. Don't try to block your family out; Jackie needs you, Lorenzo is just trying to be strong for you all, Momma needs lots of hugs right now. Granny is still Granny, even now. Don't worry about what everyone else calls her, she doesn't mind and neither should you. Don't worry about glasses now just enjoy your time without them. The best part you will learn is to figure out how to survive without them. Have fun, run around, beat up the boys and everything will work out.

Love Me,
19 year old you.
OOXX

P.S.- Pick up a sport, maybe karate. Just a suggestion.

When I was little I was very 'active', I'll just say that. I was one to hit first and ask questions later. One day, while running in the house, I was playing tag with my older brother Lorenzo and younger sister Jackie, who was it. I was running from her and trying to run around a corner. I did not have my glasses on, I couldn't even walk without them in my mother's eyes. I did not want to break them. But after miss judging the corner and hitting the wall(pretty hard) I was all game for my little coke bottle glasses with the multi-colored wire frames. Then I saw why I needed them. Lorenzo and Jackie came to ask if I was alright, after a wet rag for my nose and cleaning the wall, we laughed about this for a long time.

The best place I have found to study is on campus, or at least close to it. It's not really quite, and not too loud either. This place I have found to study is a place were others come just to study and tutor, their not there to talk and socialize: which would distract others,their not there to use a computer or get on facebook; which you always find something to laugh at,their not there to lust hang out with there friends; which would be doubly distracting in a quite room. No, people are just there to tutor or study.

The way I grew-up I have only reciently found out was weird. I had a " double life" as a child. In elementary school I was always the first to raise my hand, reading before kindergarden, the little kid always shortest in the class, playing with my brother during recess or with nobody at all. Really quiet around my peers and talkative around adults. If I showed a picture of me at this time of my life you would definetly call me a geek. Coke bottle thick glasses, my mom sewed most of my clothes, and there were always two to four thick braids in my hair. I look back and laugh at myself.
