MR. KITTNER!!! :D I finished _The DaVinci Code_!! It was one of those books that leave you hanging, though.... >:(
You wouldn't happen to have a copy of _Angels and Demons_ or another book by Dan Brown, would you? I'm dying to get my hands on another of his amazing books... I am thinking of buying some of his books, just so I can let other people read them. :D totally recommended!!
Dear Mr.Kittner, It truly has been a long time since we have spoken. I'm doing fine. I hope the same goes for you. I just got done comparing this school year to last school year-what a difference! High school is definitely more challenging. However, no challenge is too great for me. I am extremely thankful to have been blessed with some truly inspiring and wonderful teachers. When a bird looses it's way, we can only hope that they are fortunate enough to have someone lead them back on the right track. I'm glad someone did that for me. The big difference between high school and middle school is that you go down many wrong paths. However, what is a right path without perquisite wrong doings? Any way, enough with all the wisdom talk. I wrote something, and I would like you to tell me what you think about it. Thanks. (:
The Prefix “Re” and Me
"I refuse to finish writing that story on the grounds that it WILL incriminate myself. I reject any assumptions given by the public. I recalculate the things I am most unsure of. I redefine the meaning of things around me to fit my perspective. I rewind back to the moments that mean the most. I relive things that I know I will never experience again. I reconcile on these things keep in touch with reality. I remind myself that I can never go back to where I was, because I’m so much better than just a sporadic memory.” <3
Wonderful to hear from you!! Sorry it took me so long to respond, but I had to use a dictionary to get through your post! (Look at that vocabulary! Wow! *you're welcome*)
It's absurdly refreshing to hear that you've been blessed with such inspirational teachers -- I told you that you would (if you got in those upper-level classes).
Remember, your education will determine your success; I know it's hackneyed, but it's sooooo true. Keep after it!
And, no surprise, your writing is still extraordinary. Send some more!

Dear Mr.Kittner,
