How can I dare to be upset about a grade when I have been given undeserved love like this?

"I'm sorry Maya! I'm not having the best day either, so I know how you feel. Grades are nothing compared to your beauty and brilliance! Don't beat yourself up!

We shall adventure and forget all the bad things like school and sadness. We'll be like Jack Kerouac: mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved. Plath will show us how to inherit the Earth, while Hughes will tell us the best places to bathe in the Euphrates. Angelou will teach us respect and then Woolf will teach us the world. See, there are so many better things than school, especially our friendship. I love and miss you! Stay strong and above the drain of school!"
