Dear Rebekkah Rachel~
Hey! This is your friend, Ronee' Le-Anne Reaux! Thanks for writing; boy, you really love to write, don't cha?? LOL I do too, but after a while, my fingers cramp up, and they look like CLAWS, they are so stiff! LOL But I still love to get mail and write!
It is good to hear from you; thanks for the invitation to come and speak to your class! But that's in California; I am in Tennessee! That's gotta' be a very long walk! LOL I guess I will have to hop a plane or a train; I am NOT walking all the way to California! LOL
You were asking me what classes are my favorites at school. Welllll, I love Creative Writing/English; and I love Art. I also love Science and Spanish. I also love Conversational French. The ONLY class I really don't care for is Social Studies (especially now; we are studying World War II, and I don't like what the Nazis did to the Jews or those people who were born disabled; just the very thought of it all makes me want to lose my belly! UGH!). I also don't particularly care for Accelerated Math; we are doing conversions in A.M. ICK! I HATE conversions! But probably my MOST favorite class of all is Music Appreciation/Choir. I LOVE to sing, and I just love music PERIOD!! I am a MUSIC AFFICIANADO DELUXE!! LOL Rap, Country/Western, Cajun, Gospel, Rock and Roll, Jazz, Show Tunes/Broadway, Classical...don't matter, as long as it is good, I will LISTEN! (The ONLY music I DON'T like is Big Band/Swing. ICK!! I also hate Gangsta Rap because it only disses women, glorifies violence, and it is NASty, NASty! ICK!!)
I would love to speak to your class about what it is like to be in my position. But people will soon find out that even though I don't get around as well as most people, I am still me, and I love to have fun! I am a fun-lovin' gal, and I love life! Having Christ in my heart makes it all the more special, and He has helped me through some of the biggest jams I have ever known; and I guess He must still have plans for me coz I am STILL here! I nearly gave up the ghost several times, but He sent me back because He has stuff in store for me, and I am just finding out now that I was meant to bring people hope in the face of tragedy or dispair, and I LOVE making others happy or feel good! If I can get through life even with ALL that I have had to experience, then by God, they can too! I love encouraging people, and I especially love helping kids! That is why I wrote the book, and I can't wait for you to read it! I hope you enjoy it! (It's on the way; we just mailed it off yesterday before we left to go to the Golden Corral!)
Well, it's about time for me to eat lunch, so I will run for now! (HUNH! Can you just picture THAT? LOL I wouldn't have a chance against a CHEETAH! LOL) I will write more later, probably somtime tonight or tomorrow; if not, it will most def be Friday when I am in study hall or am feedin' my face! LOL Until then, you take care, and God bless! Say hi to your class for me, and say hi to your maman and papa!
Luv ya!
(((HUGZ))) As always, your friend, Ronee' Le-Anne Reaux. :D
P.S.: What are you doing for Thanksgiving? Are you going anywhere? We are going to the Golden Corral for Thanksgiving lunch; me, and about 99 other people! We have a whoooooole lot of company coming!! The Golden Corral people ain't gonna' be too happy....LOL
I always like the art work that you display at the top of your work. Now your stories make a lot of sense and continues to inform while telling a story.
These song lyrics and art are tales, tides and twinkling lights - tunes telling stories of warmth and sun, city and sand, paths that lead, and the coins we can keep in the Karma Bank. Spirit's been bypassed for sorrow, dreaming of a better tomorrow .
