Aloha Hawaii

     Out with old and in with the new. It was a year of tears and cheers. I was never so heartbroken before when I saw the March disaster. However, when my fellow countrymen gave everything to help Japan, I felt a pride inside myself I had never felt before. America often does wrong things, but as you saw, Americans are at their best when times are bad.

     What surprises does the coming year have for us? I'm sure it will be a mix of good and bad. Hold your head high Japan. You are a great country and people. Your friends love you very much.

     I'd like to thank MySkypenglish for the oppurtunity to excell at something I really enjoy. Next, but not least, I want to thank all of my students. I was overjoyed with your successes and I cried about your failures. Thanks to all my students. I truly care about you.

     It's a new year!!! I look forward to it. See you soon!

Your Friend,

Michael
