Mrs. Roseanne Frank:

Greetings from Quito. Im writing this letter to wish you the best of this world and hoping that you are in good health. May God bless you and all your family.

Thank God I'm in very good health conditions. As you may remember, my mother was at the hospital, but fortunately she's feeling better now, thanks to the medication and medical treatment she is having. She has diabetes.

As the ladies from the Kiwanis Club may have told you, at the end of July I finished the first semester at the University. By the middle of this semester, I decided not to continue working in order to become a full time student. I had difficulties in some subjects, such as Algebra and Physics, but the ladies from the Club hired a tutor to help me. You can see the results in the Score Card.

As these two subjects demanded me more time and attention, I didn't have success in Chemistry. I couldn't reach the minimum grades and now I have to repeat this subject next semester.

This last semester was very difficult for me. I had to study completely new subjects related to my career and they demanded me more time and dedication. Fortunately I was able to obtain better grades than the minimum required. At the moment, I'm complying with all the requirements in order to register myself into the second level.

As always, I'm very grateful for the invaluable support you are providing me. Once again I wish you the best in this world and I would like to mention that thanks to you, I'm able to go up day by day, and I'm sure I will have a better future.

I hope to have the opportunity to see you here in the near future.

Johanna Blacio
