I will never forget one day in my first year in high school. I was sitting on the stairs, putting my head in my hands and crying out to my parents because I would never be able to save enough money for college. My parents tried to comfort me, but it seemed impossible to save＄64,268, the cost for the private college that I wanted to enter.
Now let me tell you the amazing story of how I saved this sum of money. It all began with a newspaper route in Ankeny, IA. I hated delivering newspapers that route, but decided to continue for six months until my family moved to Wausau. With a few dollars from my newspaper route, a small nest egg began to develop. My next job was working in an athletic company. The money continued to grow very slowly. Half a year later, I worked for a fruit store. Then, when I was in junior high school, I began to be a waitress at Denny’s restaurant. It was hard work, but the money began to roll.
By the time my senior year arrived, I had saved a large sum of money. This was encouraging, but I knew that I would also need some help, so I began to apply for scholarships. Sometimes I got upset because I was rejected again and again. Then, my first scholarship offer came in,＄2,000 a year to play tennis. This is only a small sum of money at a school that costs about＄14,000 a year, but it was a start. Several other scholarships also came and soon I was up to have＄9,050 in scholarships. With scholarships and savings, I saved enough money for my first year.
Several years later, I was off to college. Because of careful saving, I did not have to work during the school year.

Dear Kate,
It is very exciting that you are coming to our school so soon. you arrive, let me introduce to you what our school life is like.
Our school is a good where we can prepare ourselves well for the future. We have many wonderful teachers who are always ready to help. Though we pay a lot of attention to how we do in lessons, getting high scores is not the only reason to study. The encourage us to try out new ideas and ask questions in class. With their help we have developed all kinds of in both Arts and Science. Students can choose to any school clubs they are interested in. We can choose the subjects that we want to study. Last term I chose American Literature, because I wanted to learn famous American writers. This term I chose to attend classes because my father bought me a piano as a birthday present.
By the way, I was elected monitor of my class. Sometimes it can be to be a monitor, because I have to do a lot of work and attend many meetings. However, being a monitor has taught me a lot, such as for others and taking responsibilities and so on. When my class was given the title of “Model Class”, I was than ever before. So being a monitor an important part in my school life. I’m very pleased with my work.
I love my school and that you will have a pleasant experience here too. I am looking forward to seeing you soon.
