Mrs. Burke,
Thanks for helping me with the Gonzaga test preperations. I'm positve that it will help me on the exam. Another thing I forgot to mention in what I learned was factoring. THis was probably the hardest thing I learned all year. I requires a very keen sence of how to, for lack of a better word, manipulate an problem. At first, I had no idea what I was doing, but after going over it with you (and a bit more practice) I am pretty sure that I will be able to master it (hopefully before the Gonzaga exam). I really had a great year this year with you. It is easy to say that this was one of my most fun years in math EVER. Thanks for all you have done for me. You prepared me for high school, college, and for life. I greatly appreciate it. I promise that I will come visit when I can. Thanks again. Oh, by the way, check your e-mail. I sent you a little somethin' somethin'. Thanks again (again)

Yours Truly,
Sam LaPaille
