My Term 1 and 4 Letters

Dear term Four Jessie,

When you read this you will be at the end of your year eight journey. You will be enrolled into college.But this year I really want to achieve my goals for term 1 to term 4, the first thing I want to achieve is how to be a confident speaker  so I can talk in front of the class and share great ideas to other people like Mr Johnston, Mrs Kirkpatrick,Miss Donaldson and even Mrs Anderson, the one question I always ask myself is have I  presented in a assembly this year.But all the things I need to do to achieve my goal is to join in most of our school activities. You always have to practice a lot and always have top focus and contribute, but the more I speak to teachers and other people the more you will be confident.
