Dear Diary

 
Dear Diary,

Today, Sister Mary Claire gave me an exciting challenge – to modernize an adventure story from 1751 for my peers and adults. I can't wait to add my own touch to this classic tale.

Sister also emphasized the importance of efficient writing for this project. She suggested I learn to use a typewriter and introduced me to Norma Faye, who teaches typing at St. Jerome's Catholic School. Norma Faye shared some fascinating insights into the future of typing. She talked about the development of the IBM Selectric, known for its distinctive spinning "golf ball" type element. This revolutionary machine, with its improved speed and quality, is set to change the world of typing. Although I'm learning on a manual typewriter, which is the latest and greatest technology of our time, it's exciting to think about what lies ahead.

This evening, Sister Mary Claire and I spent time in the Inner Court Prayer Wagon, as it has come to be known at the farm. There, she showed me the adventure story I'll be working on. I'm filled with anticipation to begin this journey.

Let the adventure begin!

With gratitude, Kathy

P.S. Thank you, Lord, for my sister and my new teacher, Norma Faye.
