Dear Mr. Cohen,
Hi, I'm your new student, Zack. I haven't talked much and you might have wondered why. And honestly, the reason is because I don't consider myself all that interesting. I mean I have a Mom, a Dad, a sister, I like to play video games, and sometimes I hang out with friends. I'm just pretty average. And above all else I just don't like to talk. When I talk to people I get nervous that I might be saying the wrong things, or embarrassing myself.
Speaking again on video games, saying "I like video games" is an understatement. I love video games. I'm definitely not one of those people who sits all day playing for a couple reasons. One reason is after about an hour of playing at one time I feel like I'm wasting my time. I start to think, should I be doing homework instead? Should I go hang out with friends? Should I do something with my family? But I do like to play them in moderate amounts. What I like the most about video games is they take my mind off things. It puts my mind at ease and I stop worrying about all the little things that are bringing me down. When I get older I would love to make a game.
That's the problem. I don't care about a lot of my classes. I get bored because I feel like this isn't helping me with my career I have in mind. I don't need to know who won the 2nd Punic War to make a game. I don't need to know art terms. The only class I've really cared about is "Info Tech". I get good grades and all that, after all I am in all level 1 classes. But I just don't feel like what I'm learning really matters. I am going to try harder this year to (or at least pretend) to care about what I am learning just in case the whole "game" thing doesn't work out.
From,
Zack
