Dear Ms. Schmidt,

I remember all the times during class when I would goof off and not pay attention. But you told me that it is not good and that goofing off in school is entertaining now, but later you will regret it if you don’t pay attention.

I never had the time to tell you how big of a difference it has made because I pay attention a lot more than I used to. I really appreciate this because ever since first grade, I have been getting better report cards.

Sincerely,

Becky, age 10
