Young Love...


In honor of Valentine's Day, I've decided to compile a list of the greatest love notes that have ever crossed my desk (or table, because teachers don't have desks).

4.  This Valentine was beautiful because I got some GREAT data from this informal writing sample.  Also, he has a pet cat.



3.  I mean, she has her priorities in line. She's got high standards.  "I will marry a man that can help pay the bills and child support and help pay the light bill and help make new houses."

That's right, she's pretty on the inside.
