Dear future student,

What class is this? Oh yeah “Ms. Watts’ ” class. The one who has won the
teacher of the year award. The teacher that does not take anything funny and is
always dedicated and serious. Yeah that’s her and she doesn’t care what you do
because that is your grade and not hers. That’s what makes Ms. Watts herself
because any other teacher would make you do the work.

This letter is for your sake. If you slip up you, better try and catch yourself
because she is not the teacher that holds your hand. You would need to do your work
without any constant of help from her. The students may help you but her, Nah.
Keeping up with your assignments is the best thing to do in this class. Also, Ms. Watts
WILL NOT let you mess around and have fun until she sees that your work is done.
When your work is completely done, as in you tried 110%, and then you can think
about messing around.

One way to avoid that type of behavior is to just do what you have to do.
Doing your work is the most important thing in this class because it’s important to
your grade. Most of the work in here goes toward projects and projects are worth
40% of your grade. Take me for an example. I had Ms. Watts for two years now and
even when you had not done your work everything would just pile up until it was
done. Doing your work at the last minute is not fun because you get rushed and it
does not work out how you want it to be. Like I said, if your work is not 110% full
done at the maximum of what you can do, then don’t even bother telling her it’s
done.

Work is done and you playing sounds fun right? Well if you get the work done
and did it all out to the max then you will have time to be able to do those things you
want to do. When you work you earn freedom. Ms. Watts is that person that if you
respect then you get it back. Also, if you do your work you get freedom. Work equals
out to freedom. Freedom is what you want so if you get your work done then
everything and everyone will be happy including the teacher that does not play; she
will be happy too.

Sincerely,

Andrew Gomes
