Letter to My Character

Dear Katherine,
I hope you make it back to your present time, and can survive the 15th century. You should become a basketball player inside of a dancer; you learn how to be a team player, and its good exercise. It’s very considerate how you care about your brother so much and you’re willing to give up your present time and willing to live in the past. Tell Chip and Jonah good luck, and I hope like make it in the bid turkey leg eating time, yes they have turkey legs in the 15th century.

Yours Truly,

Andrea
