es el dos de marza Hola. ¿Cómo estás? Este jueves vamos a un restaurante mexicano llamado "El Rancho". Nunca he sido su pero he oído que es muy bueno. Tenemos que hablar en español todo el tiempo que están allí. No estoy seguro de lo que llegar a comer. ¿Tienes alguna sugerencia? Esta pista de semana finalmente comenzó. Me gusta tema porque me gusta correr y es casi de primavera, lo que significa que la escuela se termina! Me estoy muy cansado de la escuela. Mi evento favorito en la pista es la milla y los ochocientos metros planos. Espero que puedo aportar mi tiempo por este año en la pista. ¿Cuál es su deporte favorito en la primavera? Esperamos hablar con usted más tarde! Matt

es el veinte y cincode febrero Victor, ¡Hola! ¿Comó estás? Soy haciendo bueno. Espero que podamos hablar pronto, porque ya es febrero. Este semana, voy a hacer todo de mi tarea porque tengo muchos. En el futuro, voy a ir a la universidad, pero no estoy seguro de lo que quiero hacer. También voy a ir al partido de baloncesto este fin de semana. En el futuro voy a ir a la universidad, pero no estoy seguro de lo que quiero. I hope you could understand some of that. My spanish is still not very good. We were supposed to write what we want to do in the future or near future. Today was actually very surprising-we had no school because it was a "snow day." It was awesome because really their was hardly any snow on the ground. Well, I hope I can eventually hear from you soon before the school year ends! Adios! Matt

Victor, Hola! Es Matt nuevo. Lo siento si mi español no es muy bueno, realmente necesito trabajar en él. No recibí su última carta, así que me dirijo a usted de todos modos. Nada es nuevo conmigo ultimamente. El tiempo aqui es muy agradable. ¿Cómo es el tiempo aquellos? Acción de Gracias es muy pronto y no puedo esperar. Este es mi fiesta favorito. ¿Cuál es el tuyo? Empecé a nadar la práctica de hoy y es muy difícil! Yo nunca he nadado en mi vida. ¿Alguna vez has nadado antes, y si es así ¿Te gusta? Es difícil creer que estamos en noviembre ya, y acción de gracias vendrá pronto. ¿Cuáles son algunas de las fiestas que celebran? Espero que usted puede escribir tan pronto como pueda para mis cartas próxima vez no será tan breve como éste, Matt

Victor, Hello! Its Matt again. I still have not got your letter and I hope to get them soon. It is hard to believe that we are in the middle of November and Thanksgiving is coming up soon. Like I said before it is my favorite time of year besides Christmas. Some of the traditions that are family has is that we cook a turkey, mashed potatoes, and many of other side dishes. Also, my grandparents come over to my house to eat with us as well. The history of the turkey goes back centuries ago in the history when the pilgrims came over to America. Ever since then, the turkey has turned out to be a popular symbol for Thanksgiving Day. The day after Thanksgiving is called "Black Friday" where many people all across America go out and shop, because their are really great deals. (It is one of the craziest times of year!) The term "Black Friday" originates from the 1869 financial crisis America went through. In 1975 the shopping craze that followed Thanksgiving Day turned into "Black Friday" in reference to the crazy crowds. Besides the slipping economy, numerous people still shopped and caused several newspapers to call the day "Black Friday." Those are some of my traditions we have in America. What traditions do you celebrate? What kind of food do you eat for Thanksgving? Hope to hear from you soon, Matt

11-23-09 Victor, Hello, my name is Matthew Meyer. I guess I had the wrong person when I was writing my letters according to the google docs page. I was sending my letters to Sergio Perez. You don't know me so I should probably introduce myself again. I am seventeen years old and five feet nine inches tall. I have dark blue eyes and brown hair. I was born and raised in Fremont Ohio my whole life. My parents names are Tom and Amy, and I have two brothers named Derek and Kyle. Derek is twenty years old and attends Akron University college. Kyle is twelve years old and will soon turn thirteen in December. He is currently in the seventh grade at Saint Joseph Elementary School.My favorite sports are cross country and Track and Field. My favorite subjects in school are Math, History, and Science. Some of the things I like to do is play on the computer, listen to my ipod nano watch t.v. (on occasions) and play with my dog Molly (she is a beagle).

My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving and Christmas. It is hard to believe that Thanksgiving is this week. My family and I have dinner with my grandparents at our house, and we have a delicious turkey to eat. Some other food we have are mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, stuffing (my favorite), rolls, and green bean casserole. What are some of the traditions that you have? The day after Thanksgiving is called "Black Friday". Black Friday is the biggest shopping day of the season where their are a lot of great deals. It is actually kind of scary because many people fight over a lot of store items and some people can actually get injured! I never go shopping on this day because most of the items are gone as early as nine o'clock a.m.

The weather here in Ohio has been steadily mild, but the temperature is starting to drop. I really like Thanksgiving and Christmas, but I do not like the cold weather. I have actually experienced negative degree weather here a couple of times in the winter, and it is very cold and very dangerous to be out in. What is the weather like where you live? I imagine it is warmer over there. What is the coldest and hottest temperature you have ever had? This year however, has been unusually warm in Ohio. We haven't had our first snow fall yet, and we are almost into December! Before I go I want to ask you some questions, like: 1. Do you have any brothers and sisters? If so how many and what are their names? 2. What do you do to celebrate Thanksgiving? 3. What is your favorite holiday? 4. What are your favorite subjects in school? I hope I get to learn more about you soon! Happy Holidays! Matt Meyer PS: When you send your letter send it to meyermatthew@streaks.net (my email)

Victor, Hola. Es Matt de nuevo. Finalmente entendí por qué no estoy recibiendo sus cartas.Me olvidé de correo electrónico a usted! Estoy muy sierto. Este fin de semana fue muy bueno porque era más largo para las vacaciones de Acción de Gracias. Yo comí much comida por Accion de Gracias. Después Acción de Gracias fuemos al zoológico, para ver las luces antes de Navidad. Cada año, el zoológico exhibe una variedad de luces para mostrar al público. En domingo mi madre y yo sacimos mi hermano esapalda a Akron Universidad. Fue un viaje muy largo. Eso es lo que hice para mis vacaciones de Acción de Gracias. I hope you could understand some of my Spanish that I just wrote. Anyway the next holiday that is coming up is Christmas, and I hardly can wait! For Christmas, we get two full weeks off of school. After Christmas break we come back to a new year and we have our semester exams. I am definitely not looking forward to those! Anyways, I hope we can talk soon since I finally figured out how to send the email to you. Sincerely, Matt

Es el diez de diciembre. Hello Victor, Its Matt again. I can't believe that Christmas is coming up soon. It feels like we juat had Thanksgiving! It is getting very cold in Fremont Ohio as the winter season is finally approaching. Anyways, this week and next our school is participating in a community activity called reachout. It is when we reachout to the community, to those that are in need of food, and we collect food for each of our classes (like brownie mix, cereal, spaghetti, soup, canned vegetables, and peanut butter), and the day before Christmas break, the senior class delivers the food to the families. The Underclassmen do a variety of other activities, like going to nursing homes, and singing Christmas carrols. It is just a great feeling to be able to see the smiles on peoples faces and be able to make their Christmas a little bit better. What are some of the traditions that you have for the holiday season? I hope you write back soon, because I have not gotten any of your letters, sincerely, Matt Meyer

Es el quince de diciembre Hi Victor, Its Matt again.Im starting to really feel like I am talking to myself because I have not gotten any of your letters (lol). Anyway Im really excited because Christmas vacation is coming soon! Only six more days of school for us and I hardly can wait. Our school gets about two weeks off of school for Christmas vacation. However, after vacation is over, we have to come back to school and take our semester exams. Basically, we take a long test over all the material we learned from the beginning of the school year, till now over all of our subjects. However, some of my classes don't have semester exams, which is a huge relief. By the time I'm done with my exams, I'm already burnt out for the day. What does your school do for the end of the semester? I hope we can finally talk soon. Sincerely, Matt Meyer P.S. Happy Holidays!

Es el seis de enero. Hola Victor, It is Matt. It is the fourth of January and I'm back at school after Christmas vacation. It is almost kind of sad because it seems that Christmas went way too fast, however it was really fun and relaxing. I hope that yours was the same way. I hope I can get your letters soon and figure this out because I have written you mucha cartas. What are some of the things that you do to celebrate the holiday and the new year? Next week for school is exam week. It is the week where all the students take tests over the first semester of school. However, algunos clases tienen projects for their exam. Tengo un Physiology projects y un Religion project por mi exam. Tengo pensar el spanish exam será muy difícil. Do you take exams for the semester? I hope you had a great new year y espero hablar con usted pronto! Adios, Matt Es el veinte y uno de enero. Hola Victor, Está Mateo. No he sacado su carta, y espero sacárlo hasta pronto. Nuesto profesora esta hiciéndonos escribir en espanol mucho más, perdon si no está muy bueno. We have just gotten done con nuesto second semestre examens. Ahora, nuesto empezado second semestre. The weather is still very cold here in Ohio pero no está nevando. Pienso que esta muy decepcionante.Usually we have alot of school closings around this time of year but so far we have only had a few delays. Espero que podamos hablar pronto y de alguna manera obtener esta funcionado. Mi profesora dicho este we might be able to talk en la computadora through Skype. I hope I can talk to you soon, Sincerely, Matt

Es el veinte y seis de enero Hola Victor, Está Matt. Estoy esperando pensar este está no escribiendo mi. I feel like I am talking to myself. I don't know what to talk about anymore because you are not responding! Anyway let me repeat what I have already said the millionth time in my wikispaces. The weather here is still very cold in Fremont Ohio and I want spring to come really soon. La semana pasada tuve la gripe del estómago. Está horíble. Yo estaba vomitando por cerca de diez horas. Nothing is really new with me, I wish I could hear from you so I could write something besides the same thing over and over again. Last Sunday, Hay una pista meet. I came in 5th out of 17 which is really good por mi. The event that I ran was the one mile run. I ran it is 5:28. ¿Te gusta corriendo la pista? Well, I hope that I hear from you soon, but I predict that you will never write to me, so Adios! Matt

Es el dos de febrero Hola Victor Está Matt. Este es about el ocho carta y no me has escrito. It feels like I can't really write anything if I have not heard anything back from you. Everything is okay here in Fremont Ohio. Ojalá aquí podría cómo van las cosas en España.El día de hoy se marmotas que significa que una marmota sale de la hibernación y predice el clima. Tendremos seis semanas más de invierno. Espero poder oír de usted pronto! Matt

Es el nueve de febrero Hola Victor. ¿Cómo estás? Estoy haciendo bien. Este semana fuimos una grande muy tormenta de nieve. Habremos sacando much nieve. Habremos sacando dos dias descando de la escuela. So far this week has been kind of upsetting. First off all the Catholic Schools are deciding to consolidate. All of the schools in the Fremont area are coming together to Saint Joseph Schools. Secondly our Bishop (Bishop Leonard Blair) wants to change el nombre de nuestro escuela to Bishop Hoffman High School. This created a huge outcry to everyone in the Fremont community. Nuestra escuela tiene que ver con la tradición, y cambiar el nombre de nuestra escuela, crearía grandes problemas. Esta mucho importante to all of us to keep the name Saint Joseph Central Catholic because not only will it be a huge financial burden but also will sadden alot of the alumni este han ido a la SJCC. Mucho personas estan escribiendo las cartas a la Bishop to hopefull convince him not to change the name and that he has made a huge mistake if he does. Hope that someday you will write back :] Adios, Matt
