Dear Friend
This week is going terrible and slow. I have so much work to do and so many tests to study for. I don’t have time for friends or family or even for myself. I haven’t slept in so long that I forgot what a pillow looks like. But that’s okay, because at tough times, time like this, I think of wonderful experiences I had, times when I was happy and excited. When I am down or sad or just bored I always think of Christmas morning and my family. I don’t really know why I immediately think of Christmas with my family, but I guess that is the only time our family is together. I just love being with my mom and dad and even my brother. It feels like I belong, like I am not alone in the world. I love it when we all sit by the fire and watch a movie together. I even love when my brother keeps says that watching movies that make people cry is girly, but I know that he loves it. And later we all go outside and throw snowballs at each other. My dad always wins that game, because he is the strongest. Then we all go inside and open the presents. I don’t really care about the presents I get, I am just excited to see the look on people’s faces when I give them my presents. So that’s my memory of the “good times.” It may be lame, but it gets me through some tough times.
Before I forget, I wanted to tell a little bit about my brother. Well, first off, he is my brother, so we always fight a lot. Sometimes we have serious fights and sometimes we just play around. We never hurt one another on purpose, physically or emotionally, or at least we never mean to. My brother and I were never really close, because he is older and always thinks of me as an annoying baby sister. But there was this one time when I got in a car accident and he was there for me, not just because he is my brother so he had to be, but because he really cared. I had to stay in the hospital overnight and he was there with me all the time. It was a horrible experience for me, but he was there to cheer me up and make me feel better. I guess that day was really special to me, because that’s when we became really good friends. After that accident my brother told me that if I ever had any problems that I could talk to him. He really is a good guy.
While I am on the subject of my brother, I’d like to tell you about the time when he introduced me to video games. I never knew that video games could be so much fun, as well as addictive and time consuming. I never played video games; I guess I thought that only boys played video games, because they had nothing better to do. But I have to tell you video games are a lot of fun. These games take up so much of my time that they help me escape my problems. They also help me forget things I don’t want to think about. I like playing games like Superman, Spiderman and Batman, games that have heroes, because I enjoy saving people. I also like playing these games because it’s everyone’s fantasy to have superpowers and I cannot save people in real life. Sometimes it’s nice to live in a fantasy world. This was a very helpful experience. I got to fly and be someone else, I even saved the world, from alien invasion, but I still saved the world. It was fun doing something I have never done before, especially something so entertaining. Well, I think I have bored you enough for one day. Hope you have a good weekend.
Love always, Rachel

Dear Friend
The holiday season is upon us and I would like to give you a gift. It’s nothing special, just a mix tape that I made for you kind of as a “thank you!” This tape contains all of my favorite songs. Most of them are slow and relaxing. The one song that I would like to point out is song number 1 and number 11. The name of the song is “My All.” I decided to put in on there twice, because it is very important to me. I listen to that song when I am down, mad, sad, angry or just happy. It’s really a song for any and every mood. I think it’s the best song ever, because it’s beautiful. What I mean by beautiful is that this song has tranquil tone and soothing flow as well as lovely lyrics. It’s hard to find a song with all of those qualities.
When you listen to this tape, I hope that you can forget about everything negative in life and just think about beauty and love. I hope that this tape will remind you of the importance of love. I hope it’s the kind of tape that will make you realize how lucky you are if you have someone who loves you. Because there are some people who are not very lucky and have no one.

Another thing I wanted to mention was my trip to New York with my family. We went to visit our grandparents in New York for Christmas. Since we did not have much money left for the plane tickets our dad decided to drive to New York. It was a boring and a very long trip, but for some reason I was very excited. I couldn’t wait to see my grandmother. I love my grandma very much. She is the only one who really understands me. My grandma always has answers for any problem and any question. She can even figure out solutions to my problems before I even have those problems. My grandpa is really good at avoiding confrontations and giving money.
My dad on the other hand, doesn’t need to have a conversation, he can just give a look and we all know what to do. My mom is very patient; it’s very hard to make her mad. However, when she is mad, fireworks are going up in heaven. My brother is very mellow; he doesn’t care much about anything. All he does is just sit quietly and listen to his music. When we got to New York we went straight to grandmas. Our family had a nice holiday weekend together and we got back home on Monday. That was pretty much my winter break. Well, I hope you enjoy my present.
Love always, Rachel
