December Letters: Mrs. Tacmo

Dear Mrs. Tacmo,

The proper thing would be to write this longhand, scan it and upload it. But that would only show how far from ideal my handwriting has fallen.

I write this letter, because whenever I think of letters, I think of your graceful flowing script. I've always thought, "That's the way to write." Of course, the content of the letter matters a lot, but a refined presentation is important too. It's like a frame to show off the content.

How hard was it to be the adviser of all of the graduating sixth graders? I'm sure we were a handful. Did it break your heart to see us graduation with neither a valedictorian nor salutatorian? Interestingly, my high school batch at Pisay didn't have those either.

I'm sure people wrote us off. How could a class not have at least one genius? How could a class not have a first honor? We might not have earned grades good enough to be presented in the usual manner, but I think we were made of the right stuff. Thank you for encouraging us to live up to our potentials.

Sincerely---
