Dear mom, I want to thank you for the football you sent William on his birthday. Now he is thirteen and is a class act in his soccer practice; his skills with the ball are really good. In school he is doing fine; he is one of the most intelligent students in his class. Moreover, he claims he is going places in his studies.  He is now very good with numbers, reads very fluently and gets excellent grades. He says his teachers tell him he is head and shoulders above his class, as all his answers are right. We always talk to his teachers because we want him to stay out of trouble and behave well. Most teachers say he does. They say it is difficult to find his match in most class activities. Most of his classmates do not do so well in their subjects. We should not be this proud of our son, but he does like his school these days. Sometimes we wonder if the school is not in his league. You know he does everything apparently without much effort; he definitely needs a challenge. Love, Emma
