Dear Blake,

Hi my name is Baruchs Ramirez and it is pronounced bar00sh. I’m sorry you were misinformed but our school is not a middle school, it is a high school. In fact we are not just any high school we are a pilot school. We share our campus which is called Miguel Contreras Learning Complex (MCLC for short) with other schools . Three other schools inhabit our complex, Los Angeles School of Global Studies, Business & Tourism, and Social Justice. These schools are independent.  Our complex has 3 floors. We ALC, use the bottom floor, Global Studies uses part of the second floor and the other part is used by Business & Tourism, and the third floor is used by Social Justice. Although we do share the campus we have different lunch times and have P.E. separately.  The only exception of our schools coming together is when we have our sports teams. When that happens, we are all Cobras! Our school ALC also has a really bothersome rule, we have to carry a 2-inch binder around and have to take Cornell notes, these are notes that have three columns, one for questions another for notes and the last one for a class summary. It is still a pretty awesome school.

I am a 10th grader,and like you, I talk to my friends a lot. I play soccer for my school, I have tried out for football but I quit, and now I am giving Water Polo a try. The only manga book I have ever read was Death Note, and my favorite band is Avenged Sevenfold. I do not think there is anything wrong with liking Pokémon. I think the mail race is an awesome thing. Although I think I took too long to reply so sorry if you lose. Pokémon was interesting at one point but I stopped watching it. You are not asking anything wierd, I am a bit like you so I can relate to what you are asking. I hope you learned a bit about my weird school and see you are not the only weird person in this world.

Sincerely,

Baruchs Ramirez
