Chris Guy 1B Dear Chris, It’s time to get your act together and start acting serious. There has been too much goofing around. It is time to grow up. Next semester, I need to get at least a 3.0 on my report card because I need to play football, I need to pass eleventh grade and so the colleges that are scouting me now can give me offers. Football has been a great deal of help in my life so why stop now? I need to play football next year it teaches me discipline and how to work together. Grades have to come first though. A 2.0 is the least anyone can have to play football. A 3.0 is what I’m going for. If I do not get the grades to play football next year that would be very bad. I am looked at now as the leader of the team. Letting the team down with getting bad grades would set a bad example for the younger players and hurt the team. We are hoping to go to the playoffs so that will not happen. Passing the eleventh grade is very important. Doing well is also very important because this is when colleges start looking at your grades foreal. Messing up when it comes to grades is not the best idea if anybody has hopes of going to college. Passing eleventh grade then going on to graduate next year would be great. Nobody in my family has gone to college. I would be the first one of my whole family to go on and do something with my life. That’s what I’m striving for and I’m not stopping till I succeed. Currently I am being scouted by a couple colleges for example ECU, ODU, U Mass, and others are looking at me. They cannot give me any offers till I pick my grades up. 2.5 is the minimum for a college to recruit you. I’m looking for a 3.0. Going to play football in college would awesome. Also by doing that I have to chance to go on and play in the NFL, making a ton of money doing what I love to do. That would be the greatest accomplishment of my life. It all starts with the grades though. So it’s time to get on the ball, buckle down and get to work. I am going to go to college. It all starts with the grades in high school. If I don’t get them together in high school I won’t go to college. Then I will be working some low wage job not doing anything with my life. It’s time for a change and it starts now.
