Dear Susan--

Congratulations! I am thrilled that you passed your exams and will be joining university. That is wonderful news. I know that you have worked hard throughout secondary school.

What will you be studying in University? Will you be doing an internship with Kenya Connect?

My holidays were wonderful. My children came home from University and work so it was very special. I went to the state of Vermont and I even got to ski a little bit.

Congratulations. I am very happy to hear from you.
