Quarter 4: Outside Reading #5

Dear Carmen,
I understand why you would want to stay at home and go to the University of Maryland instead of her all time dream school, Williams. I also agree with your dad and you can decide whatever you want. My original thinking on this whole situation is that you should go with what your gut feeling is, and based on your recent thoughts I think you should still plan to attend Williams in the fall. You have been dreaming of going to this college forever, and I don't think that your mom having a baby should change your future. Keep asking for your family's support and opinions along with your friends because I positive that they need yours. Bee is currently discovering facts that she has been pondering for years. She finally brings up the incident in Baja to Eric, because one of the boys on her own team did the same thing that she did to Eric, and asked her out and was very persistent about it. Eric told Bridget that it wasn't all her fault and that he wanted it too, this truth might later on affect their friendship which could be a very confusing rollercoaster for her where she will come to you for help. For Lena's current issues with her dad and their disputes for her college, she starts creating her portfolio for the scholarship that she is going after. She could not find a subject in which she was passionate enough to draw that she will create an amazing picture. She decides that she is going to draw portraits of each of her family members in the most natural poses as possible. She at first draws her mom, and she shows the end result to Annik who greatly enjoys her piece of work. Meanwhile Tibby keeps avoiding Brian even though she really likes him. She convinces herself that he comes over to her house everyday to come and visit Katherine, even though he is there to see her. In order to convince Tibby, you will need to constantly encourage her to not avoid Brian and make sure she stops moping around about Katherine.
