Zach's Introductory Letter

Fall, 1999
Dear Mrs. Huffman,

Hi I'm Zach, I have brown hair, well, I guess not brown, it's kind if blond, and I highlighted the top. I don't really have a tan and people say I'm really white, I don't think I'm that white. My favorite sport is soccer. My soccer team last year went undefeated with me as center forward. One of my other favorite things to do is to play the computer. My friend just got a new game called Age of Empires II, or Age of Kings and I'm playing it on my computer. It's got the best graphics ever! I almost always get my homework done. My grade average is 3.9, I almost got a 4.0 last year for an average.

Almost 1 month after school started I was still taking the bus, very boring. My driveway was a big slope and had gravel, two years later it got paved. We have a HUGE front yard, and no back yard. Our front yard is about three times bigger than most peoples back yard. My back yard, I really have no back yard really, there's a big slope behind my house and we own the 1/4 of a mile slope. It's pretty steep. At the bottom of the slope is a small creek with lots a crawdads.

I was riding the bus, and kids were throwing paper and spitting spit wads. Brock and I were talking about what we were going to do at my house-My mom baby-sits Brock, Kira, and Katy. Brock is my age, 24 days away from my birthday-"Lets go down to the creek when we get home, ok?"

"OK."

When we got off the bus I yelled, "Race Ya!"

And we both ran as fast as we could down my road wile he went off onto the grass and started running. Wile I was at full out sprint my book-bag slipped and went out in front of me and I tripped over my book bag and hit a rock. The rock split my skin on my forehead open. I didn't feel anything! It was amazing! I didn't even feel any pain at all! It was amazing!

Right after I broke my forehead open I went to the hospital and they put in 3 stiches and I was fine.

Sincerely,
Zach
