April,2021

Dear ACE Students,

April is a new beginning of everything. Did you know that before the 14 th century,

Spring was called “LENT” in Old English? It was the time of the year when plants

started ‘springing’ from the ground. After a century, the season was referred as

springtime and later shortened to ‘spring’.

We hope that everyone has been enjoying your Spring holidays and can make use

of the Spring Fun activity lists that I handed out to you last month. That is not some

homework to do, but an activity suggestion for your Spring holidays when you get

bored.

Congratulations to everyone who finished up last year’s lessons and graduated.

Some of you might feel nervous moving on to the next grade or school, but don’t

worry because you are not alone. I felt the same way too when I was a student like

you. I clearly remember that I had some moments that I felt hesitant talking to my

classmates on the first day of school, because I was kind of introverted person. My

lifestyle as a new student in my high school was only “school and home”.

As time passed by, I could make some good friends, whom I could enjoy talking and

laughing with. At that time until the present, I have realized, that ‘SMILE’ is one of

the most effective ways that we can do to make friends with everyone.

Smile has lots of abbreviations on the internet, but I like this the most. It says, “Service Makes

Individual Lives Exciting”. We can serve or help other people when we simply just

smile.

Sincerely,

Lovely Ventanilla
