This is Ariel Foy.  She is one of my creative writing students, and she has just informed me that her hard work and my help editing and revising her portfolio has paid off.  She has been accepted to the best fine arts high school in the nation.  She's been awarded a 27,000 dollar scholarship and she is off to Interlochen Arts Academy.  I'm so excited for her.  I can barely sit still—I just had to write about it.  The only bummer in this whole situation is that I will not have the privilege to work with her this next year, and she will not be the Co-President of our Lit. Club,  nor the Editor-in-Chief of our school's literary magazine.  She is a go-getter and our magazine needs a go-getter.  Oh well, she's off to get things elsewhere and I'm so very proud of her.  What a great kid! She deserves better than GHS, and I'm glad she is going to get what she deserves—an inspiring education that will require her to use her talents that would other wise be wasted upon the mindless masses that roam the halls of GHS.  GO ARIEL!
