Dear Shirley:

I like what you wrote here: “all three of us have come together to help each other instead of competing.”

And Dave and Drew being laid back and handling stress well, these are the kinds of people you need in your life. These are the kinds of people that are healthy for you to be around. Just like your pre calc teacher making learning pleasant for you because she too is laid back and patient. Same thing. Choose your association with laid back people.

Your connection with Dave has been deepening.

Good grades. And remember, you are worthy regardless of those grades.
