self-intro letters

so my hawaii/japan pen-pal project is finally underway. YAY! fought through bureaucratic shit to get this off the ground. ^_^ I am now looking over the self-intro letters (which i'm being forced to correct but kind of want to scan the originals and send those to the hawaii students). The engrish is so cute and amusing- don't you agree?

*most of these are responses to pre-letter-writing assignments
