One of the students in the intermediate class also wanted to include his story. He did not have to do this, and it is not for a grade. But he saw everyone else's window and story and felt compelled to write his own. He worked on this after school and then at the library. His older sister helped him.

ReplyDeleteYour stories are very interesting and SO IMPORTANT to write and document! I hope you will continue to write stories!! When I came to Texas from Michigan, I didn't like it at all! Now I have adjusted and am very happy with my family here.
