Hey Jefferson!
I really enjoyed this! I liked how much you said in just a few sentences. I could really visualize what you were talking about.
I wish you luck with your baseball!

I really liked this writing. It really conveys what it feels like to look back on moments and think of what would have been good to do. It’s really cool to look back and see how our lives have improved as a result of the decisions we make. It’s always interesting to think of what we would tell our past selves.

Hello Jefferson,
I thoroughly enjoyed your post because of how inspiring it is. Many people have a very hard time breaking out of their bubble and making friends with others. Adjusting to a new environment can be very hard and even more difficult when you are a shy person. I am very happy that you found a good group of friends and are motivated towards having a great team as well.

Looking back and thinking of moments where you felt isolated is interesting. Also, the imagery of sitting on a train was really good, it puts you very much in the moment. The part about leaving the bubble is also good imagery.

I liked how your poem developed from past to present. I found it interesting how you used the same scenario to describe two very different feelings. I also liked the concluding sentence, portraying that you will be on top some day. I liked how you developed your poem and think you should continue with this style of writing.

Hey Jefferson! I really enjoyed your post! Talking about breaking out of your bubble to create new interactions is really important. It’s really hard for some people to adjust to new environments and such but once, broken, it is such an accomplishment. I’m glad you were able to break out of your bubble and make new friends. Thanks for writing and I cant wait for your next post!

Hi Jefferson, I really connected to your post. When I was younger, it was really hard to connect to people because I was so nervous. But starting in fifth grade, I started making more and more friends. Now my friends and I are inseparable, and it’s really hard for me to imagine having to leave them for college. Thanks for letting us know about your experience and hope to hear more from you soon! Paul

Dear Jefferson P:

I am surprised by your post, “little me to old me” because I like how you talked about the same scenario at different times. I think it’s amazing how we can change and get out of our comfort zones.

One sentence you wrote that stands out to me is: ” “Why don’t I try to make new friends I should break out of this bubble. Talking to people and getting nervous because you need to interact so you can make friends “. I can totally relate to how you felt when you were younger. I think it’s sad how we can feel lonely and anxious around people that should make us feel comfortable.

Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next because I like the way you express yourself. I would like for you to keep on telling us more about how you’ve become more sociable.

Dear Jefferson P,

I am surprised by your post, ” “little me to old me” because I loved how you explained how you need to get out of your bubble to have fun and just enjoy life. It’s very cool how you changed to get out of your bubble. Doing that allowed you to make friends and hang out with them.

One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is: “Why don’t I try to make new friends
I should break out of this bubble.” I thought this was something to take into consideration because you will literally miss chances to make new friends that could become very close. Making friends could make you feel comfortable and being happy.

Thanks for your writing I look forward to seeing what you write next because I like the way you mentioned one of the stories from breaking up out of your bubble. I would like for you to keep telling us more about how you grew as a person from being more sociable.

Dear Jefferson P,

I am really surprised by your post because I understand and could relate to you needing to pop your bubble in order to make new friends I understand that it may be difficult but you have to do what you have to do.

One sentence you wrote that stands out to me is: ” “Why don’t I try to make new friends I should break out of this bubble. Talking to people and getting nervous because you need to interact so you can make friends”. It stands out to me because like I said I can relate to it.

I appreciate your writing bro because it shows others that you can do things that you didn’t think you could.

Dear Jefferson,

I am impressed by your post, “little me to old me”. Because it is amazing how you faced and overcame the difficult challenge of getting out of your bubble and social interacting with other kids your age. Many children face this challenge every day and think that they won’t have friends but once they speak and create relationships sooner or later the more and more friends they will have. You liked sports and wanted to play with others but were afraid of being judged and not liked. 

I’m glad you were able to get out of your bubby and make friends that will last a lifetime so you can create amazing memories. Especially when playing a sport creates loads of fun and memorable moments. One sentence that stood out to me was “ Why don’t I try to make new friends I should break out of this bubble.” This stood out to me because I once was in your shoes and feared communicating with others as a child but as time went by and we grew up I created bonds with my peers and become friends. Sometimes getting out of our comfort zone creates a great difference in our lives. 

Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next because I liked how you overcame a challenge and made a significant change in your life. I would like you to continue writing because I know many people/children can relate to your experience.

Dear Jefferson,

I am touched by your post “Letting Go Is Something Big” because I agree that letting go of someone is very hard, especially if you love and care for them so much. It’s hard to see people walk out of your life. But that makes room for new people to come in.

Two sentences you wrote that stands out to me is: “And I got good at talking to people because you don’t have anything to lose. If they talk back then y’all are friends, and if they don’t, then no friendship.” I think this is helpful because I have trouble speaking to new people.

Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next, because I like some of the advice you gave. And now I’m going to try to talk to new people because like you said I don’t have anything to lose. I’m also going to try new things and it can possibly change my life.

Dear Jeforson :
I am moved and convinced by your words in , “Letting Go Is Something Big,” because letting go can be scary and it can hurt. Letting go of the people you love or meant something to you in the past may hurt. But then later on you realize that you needed to let them go to move on with yourself and be better.

One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is: “My biggest struggle in life will be letting people go, I don’t like letting people go because they actually meant something to me, so letting go is something big.” I think this is trustworthy and true because like I said letting go is hard. Thanks for your writing I look forward to seeing what you write next because it was very interesting and very true.

Dear Jefferson,

I am very moved by your post “Letting Go Is Something Big”, because I completely agree and relate to what you’re saying. Letting go is scary especially letting go to the friends that you love.
One sentence that I really relate to is “My biggest struggle in life will be letting people go, I don’t like letting people go because they actually meant something to me, so letting go is something big.” For me its super hard to let people go that I truly cared about because they meant something to me and its hard to go from being so close with them to being strangers. Thank you so much for writing, I look forward to seeing what you write next because I relate so much!

Dear Jefferson,

I am moved by your post “Letting Go is Something Big”, because I totally agree with you. Letting go is hard and especially when you’re the type of person who can build a friendship with anyone.
One sentence that really stood out to me was, “My biggest struggle in life will be letting people go, I don’t like letting people go because they actually meant something to me, so letting go is something big.” I agree with this because it will always be hard to let go of a friendship especially when you built that friendship.
Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next.

I really enjoyed your post, Jefferson! It turns out that we are pretty similar. I love sports and am good at math but don’t love to show it. I also love to hang out with friends outside of school. It is really hard for me to let go of people because I have such a big heart and I give a piece of it to everyone I know. Thank you for sharing your story!

We often find ourselves holding on to things because they make us feel comfortable. That comfort can be dangerous, and you must learn to let it go. Ill admit, I am still working on this as well. Sometimes letting a friend go, or a grudge go is the healthiest thing for you to do individually.

Goodmorning Jefferson,

I totally agree with you that letting people go is hard especially when you’ve built this friendship with someone but sometimes you kinda just grow out of the friendship but that’s life . I really like the way you included a bunch of examples of your life situations. Making friends is very hard but you are so right when you said ,¨ you don’t have anything to lose.¨ Think of that when someone leaves because friends and people come and go I guess that’s how things work now … not to sure but it feels like it. But at the end of the day you’ll be just FINE with or without them.
You also brought up sports which is a good way of getting yourself distracted from what’s going on . I find myself always trying to distract myself and sports is the best way to go ! I’m glad you shared your story!

Dear, Jefferson P
I am happy about your post “Letting Go Is Something Big” because it’s an awesome feeling to make new friends. Learning new stuff and talking about life is having a good time.

One sentence that you wrote that stands out for me is: “My biggest struggle in life will be letting people go, I don’t like letting people go because they actually meant something to me, so letting go is something big.” I think this is awesome because letting go plays a part of you in life.

Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next because someone who works hard and has something that actually means to you is important in life. Understanding people is something very special.

Hey Jefferson,

I liked your writing. Specifically, “If they talk back then y’all are friends, and if they don’t, then no friendship,” made me think a lot. I like its simplicity. You seem like you’ve got some life experience I don’t, so next time I think you should include a couple of stories. These can be examples of what you’re talking about. For instance, if you said, “…letting go is something big,” and followed it up with a story about a time you had to let go, I think it would hit harder. Great stuff though.

Jefferson P you do an amazing job making this personal with in depth examples and its very easy to relate to what you’re saying because you’re taking the scary idea of letting go and making it something we all have experienced. The only change I would make is some grammar mistakes but everything else is so personable and flows nicely. Overall your post is written with poise and really good.
