The Begining of the Marathon
Three days until the end of holidays. Be steady and run the race well.
Term 2. The biggest term. The most terrifying term. It is simply a shocker.
As we all go back to school on Monday, we brace ourselves for the race. What will term 2 deliver? Wasn’t term 1 hard enough? How much harder can it get? It isn’t. It’s just another race, where at the beginning the finish line may seem far and long. But when you reach it and look back, you wonder how you did it. It isn’t that long. The weeks can be counted, there is an end ot it. We can ALL win the race. 
Look aside from school work and school stress. Look to the fact that you can be around your friends everyday. School is fun yea? (*cough cough*) …okay i lied. 
But there are times when it is fun. Term 2 isn’t as boring as you think it is anyway
Enjoy your last few days of holiday and I look forward to seeing you at the end of the race, the next term holidays 
That’s what my dad says too, that term 2 is the term where everything happens. Then again, he says that about every term, so I’m not sure! haha a good idea is to write a countdown of the number of days left til the end of term, there’s eom motivation for you
And to decorate your birthday page lavishly as well.
