Letter to Dr. Grogdon January 11,2010

Dear Dr. Grogdon,
   It is my understanding that every student recieves an "A" at the beginning of class. The work that we are assigned counts as a part of my grade. So, if I were to complete each assignment accurately and presisely, there will be a positive opportunity to maintain the grade that I am given. The only way I wont maintain that "A" is stupidity and lazyness; not doing the work assigned thus, my grade drops. I will maintain my "A" by keeping up my work and as much as I hate it, continue to work on my blog assigned by Ms. Gloria Brogdon.
