Do you remember the first time you wrote a note to someone? Maybe you were in the third grade and were madly in love with the cute little girl/boy sitting a couple of desks away from you. The spelling was wrong, and it wasn’t a complete sentence. You folded it and put it in your pocket. As soon as no one was looking, you slipped the note into their desk.

Do you remember sending a Birthday card to your grandmother or handing one to your mother or father? They didn’t care about your spelling or grammar. They were so happy to receive the card.
