Hey James,

My name is Justin Li and I'm a college student from California.

I hope you are doing well in school! I think education is something really important.

What have you learned in school? What's your favorite subject?

I heard you like to play computer games! I love computer games, too! What's your favorite game? I like to play Super Mario. Have you played that game before?

Hope to hear back from you. Take care!

Warmly,
Justin Li

To The School Fund,

Hi everyone! How are you doing? I think that everyone is breathing and kicking; in all things I think that you are very great. How is everyone doing? I am fantastic and the weather here in Kenya is very cool and hot. How about there?

As I am continuing with my studies in Good Shepard Academy, I’m improving day by day. For sure I am improving because now I know that the largest star we know is called Stella Pistol or Pistol star and it has a life that is shorter than smaller stars. And the star nearest to the sun is Proxima Lentauri. There are 70,000 million, million, million stars! Do you know anything else about our good smart universe?

I am looking forward to December holiday. I think it will be the best. Greet everyone. Bye.

Love,
James
