<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Mum and Dad,

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I know that looking at my report card you are going to be disappointed. That is why I am taking the time now to explain to you why I am doing so poorly. First, some of the teachers comments are valid. However, they do not all understand my situation and their comments are from one perspective.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">My English, Physics, Geometry, and World History teachers seem to think that I am not dedicated and don’t seem to care. In reality, it is the opposite. I believe I am very hard working and dedicated, and I hope you would be able to vouch for me. The issue is that I am dedicating myself to other areas of my life, and stretching myself thin. It seems that school work, acting, and music have become too much.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Since it has become obvious I will have to focus my time, I have thought about what is my passion. After auditioning for Britannia High, I have decided acting is not my life’s pursuit. So, I will not continue my endeavors to become an actor.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The decision to take acting out of my life leaves me with school and music. However, I am not sure that keeping both in my life will be the wise decision. The biggest challenge this year has been balancing everything. Specifically, the hardest part has been missing school to travel to London for my music. Nonetheless, I love music and feel that it is my passion.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Based on everything, I have come to a conclusion. I propose that I postpone my school career. I would like to drop out and move to London to full dedicate myself to my music career. This may seem like a rash decision at first, but I know in my heart that it is the right one. Also, in the future I can go back to school if I chose to. Most importantly, take note that I am only doing what you have taught me to. You’ve always said, **<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> “Stay true to yourself by following your heart and you will succeed.” **<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> That is exactly what I am doing. Please take into consideration what I have proposed.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Sincerely your son,

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Ed Sheeran
