Informal Letter 8th Grade

Dear, 8th graders

One of the most things going into high school is P.R.I.D.E. You may be asking what P.R.I.D.E is and why is it so important. Well that is why I am writing this letter. Hopefully by the end you should know what P.R.I.D.E is. You should also know why you should follow P.R.I.D.E. First things first, what does P.R.I.D.E stand for?

Fact is all P.R.I.D.E is ways you should present yourself. Just characteristics you should show in everyday life. So don’t think anybody is forcing you to follow P.R.I.D.E or that P.R.I.D.E is a rule. Just think of it as a way to go about your day. I really do suggest that you follow P.R.I.D.E; it will not only help you through high school, but also everyday life. I personally feel that P.R.I.D.E is a helpful tool. I don’t think of it as something you have to follow. I think of it more as something that should just come natural. Well I hope to see you following
