Description

What is it I really want? Most of all, I want my son to get a good life. But what does that mean? I want him to be happy--safe--not, oh, I hope not in jail. He is a good boy, and I want lots for him. My problem--my question--is what is best for me to do, now and in the future.


To make a better life, I think we need to move. I don't know how, though, since It's so expensive. Moving is something for the future. It will take a long time, and I need to make a plan.

Before I start to think about moving, I have to think about the problem right now--I mean, what has made me start to worry in the first place. Roberto's teacher told me he was fighting at school. I went to meet with his teacher. I guess some kids have been teasing my son about having no father. This make me worry about all kinds of things. But the real problem is how Roberto can deal with other kids.

The first thing I need to concentrate on is helping Roberto deal with teasing kids without fighting. That leads me to another problem. What can Roberto say to those teasing boys? What can he do? That's my next issue to understand.

Letter to My Sister

Dear Anna,

I cannot begin to tell you how much I miss our long talks, since you always help make things clear to me. You are my sounding board--my good advisor. Right now, I want to not so much share my problems as my joys.

I have been teaching writing to my class, and I know it would cheer you to hear about their work. They are traveling on the road to bringing their vibrant personalities out in words. Curtis has strong views; they need a voice. Dwayne has a unique point of view; it needs a voice. Maria is full of love for her son; it needs a voice. Finally, Elizabeth is full of potential; that, too, needs a voice.

I only have time for this short letter, but I hope that I find you well. I will share more later, as the learning continues.

Your brother,

Leonard
