__ Letter to my daddy __ Dear Daddy, You know that feeling of excitement-that feeling of accomplishment-knowing that you’ve worked hard and are finally ready for junior high? Last year, my friend Corinne and I had this same exact feeling. We both were positive that we were as ready as could be. Corinne and I were alike in many was. We both got A’s and B’s on our pieces of work, we were both well-behaved kids, and we were both certain of the fact that we were going to absolutely love attending HHMS. For example, after working weeks on our big projects, we both got A’s on them. In fact, on the last day of school, our teachers told us that they believed that we would do very well the next year. Although a little older, we’re still very much alike. We both have earned A’s on our first report card of the year, we both have joined the same clubs, and we both have made many new and great friends. But there’s a difference. It’s not very big, but it’s there. While Corinne gets her work done in a jiffy using her many resources, I have to sometimes call three people to get one person’s phone number to ask for help on work when needed.

__ Why the difference? __ Are you wondering made this slight difference? Why do I have to work harder than Corinne in order to achieve the same grades? Well, I asked myself these questions. I really wanted find out the answer. Why did one have to make more of an effort than the other, but get the same reward? I thought a little snooping around would lead me to the treasure. What I found was unbelievable. Corinne has a cell phone with all her friends’ numbers in her contacts, poised for use. Corinne can just call her classmates when necessary to ask for help. I on the other hand don’t have a cell phone. As I mentioned before, I have to call many of my classmates to get one’s number. It gets extremely irritating. __ What would clear the difference? __  I think that I should be bought a cell phone. It would help with many things. It would make everyone’s life so much easier if I didn’t have to borrow some one’s cell phone all the time. You know perfectly well that I am very responsible and that I truly deserve it. __ What are the good things about it? __ You see, there are many good reasons why I should be bought a cell phone. v I would learn more about tech. v I would be able to use it in case of an emergency v I would be able to contact my friends for help v I would learn to be more responsible v And much, much more These are some good things that can come out me getting a cell phone. __ WHY NOT? I know you're thinking that not all good can come out of me having a cell phone and I totally agree with you. But I promise you that I will try my absolute best to take good care of it. I will charge it regularly, make sure I don't talk on it too much, and I will definitly not lose it. You know I;m responsible and you can trust me.

Affected people __ Many groups of people will be affected positively if I get a cell phone. For example, my friends will benifit from this because I'll be able to call them and they'll be able to call me at any time. It will help us contact for info., help, and group projects. Also, you, mom, and Raeesa will also benifit from this because you'll be able to contact me directly whenever you please. Take swim team practice for example. When it's over, instead of having to get out of the car tom pick me and Raeesa up, you could just give me a call letting me know that you're waiting outside. Wouldn't that be heavenly? L astly, this will mostly benifit me. I'll be able to contact my friends, you, mom, and Raeesa. If I have internet accsess, I could check my homewortk online and get started. If I get a cell phone, many people will be affected postively. What more can you ask than ,just helping everyone out, including yourself. This is an easy way.
