Dear friend,
I am writing to you to tell you what I thought about a book called the perks of being a wallflower. One moment that I specifically enjoyed was the part where Charlie takes his sister to get an abortion. This doesn't mean that I am for abortions but I felt that it was a touching moment in the book because it made me think about my own sister. We don't get along all of the time just like Charlie and his sister but I still love he and would do anything for her to make her feel better.
Another part of the book that I got attached to was when Charlie felt infinite. Him being in the car with people that he loved was something that I related to and it brought back memories of mine that made me feel infinite. I recently went to Mexico with my girlfriend and he family for thanksgiving. I know that I am only nineteen years old but I honestly feel that I will spend the rest of my life with her. I had the feeling that Charlie had when I was at dinner with her family. Everyone was just so happy and I felt infinite.
The part in the book that I learned something from was at the end of the book when Charlie is with the girl of his dreams right before she goes off to college. This really angered me because he had a chance to actually be with her and he didn't say anything. I learned from this because it made me realize that when a chance comes along don't let it go. Take advantage of the moments that are most important to you.
The ending to this book, in my opinion, was very disappointing. I think that Charlie should have ended up being more than just frurns with sam. The entire book up to the ending was very enjoyable and I would reccommend it to anybody. But because of the sudden ending I left the book feeling unsatisfied.

Dear friend,
There is one moment in my life that I might think about if I was having a really bad day or week to help remind me of the good things that I have experienced. This moment was when my mom got a hole-in-one at Estes Park golf course. I was playing with my mom, dad, brother, and cousin. This moment is so great because it made my mom so happy. Not that she got a hole-in-one but because she had all of the people that she loves come running to hug her at the same time. Picturing her face at this moment in time makes me really happy.
My best friend Tyler and I have bonded over a great tragedy. Tyler's sister passed away last year at the age of fourteen because she had bone cancer. I was always there for hime to lean on and talk to when he needed me. If it wasn't for this tragedy happening, we would not be as close as we are now.
I don't usually have many problems in my life that I can't deal with but if I did there would be one thing I would do to get away from my problems and that is going to the driving range. Golf for me is just a getaway from the real world. It allows me to escape into a state of tranquility. With golf there is always areas for opportunity for me and it is the one strong thing that can always make me happy.

The mix CD that I would make would be for my dad. This would include:
1. Remember when
2. In a hurry
3. How do I breathe without you?
4. American woman
5. I can only imagine
6. The devil went down to Georgia
7. 3am
8. Sweet home Alabama
9. Letter to me
10.remember when
The first and last songs are both remember when because that has always been the family song and it really brings back memories. So it will start by establishing the bass then tell the story about our lives together then come straight back to where it all comes from. I hope that this will make him realize how muck I love him and being back all of the memories that we have had together.
-my dad is like an owl, the wisest of all.
-my sister is the definition of success and smbition.
-my brother Randy is the perfect child prodegy. -my mom is more than anybody could ever imagine in a mom.
-i am the final piece of the family; the glue that holds it all together.

Hsve I ever told you how beautiful my girlfriend is? Ther is really only one word that can describe her. The word is perfection. Her hair is so golden and soft as silk. The shape of her face looks as if it were drawn by an artist. Her smile is so powerful it silences the world every time she is happy.
My glory days are going to be absolutely amazing. I will never be happier than when I get married and start a family. I am still very young but it is something that I have always looked forward to. The love and affection that a family can have is just amazing and I can't wait to enjoy it with a family of my own.
One interesting thing with my family is that it seems as if there are two teams. There is the team of stick up rich people and the under dog down to earth middly class people. It is miserable hanging out with the rich side because it is so awkward and they don't make you feel comfortable. They are proof that money can't buy happiness because they always seem to be unhappy. Being with the other side is just so much fun because they are loud and just make everyone comfortable.

Dear friend,
My grandparents have always been the kind of people that don't ever do anything active. They spend most of their time sitting at homw watching TV or movies. I had never seen the side of my grandma that I saw last night... My family and my grandparents are going on a cruise over winter break for a week. My dad got a bunch of dance videos so we could learn to ball room dance. The night I got to see my grandma do this I have never seen her light up like ahe did. I literally brought tears to my eyes. This made me realize that you can never completely know a person you don't do a lot with.
Last year was one of the most dramatic years of my life. My best friend Tyler lost his thirteen-year-old sister to cancer. It happened so fast. Being with him through this tragedy and having him talk to me about it made our relationship grow and I knew we would be friends for life. The way he dealt with it made me see how strong of a person he is and always will be.
I am reading a book in class that talks about feeling infinite and I wanted to share what makes me feel infinite. The best feeling in the world is being out on the golf course on a nice warm day with four of my favorite people. These people are my dad, brother, and cousin Jim. At the end of October I am going to Arizona with them and I can't wait to feel infinite again.

dear friend,
I am writing to you because I need to know that there I'd somebody who can support me. I just need to know that there is someone that understands me. I think that you of all people would understand me because we have similar morals and goals. My life is very confusing right now because I have so many things going on. Trying to balane my life is near impossible with work and trying to get my PGA card. To add onto this I have to maintain a full schedule in school. I also have a girlfriend who I love and don't want to hurt. Other people just seem so much more organized than me. the reason I wrote to you is because I have a big golf test coming up and I am really nervous.
Love always,
ricky
