“I was told to thank you about finding me a school, but I didn’t even need to be told, I was writing this email even before I was told to. But it’s very true… I really do need to thank you so much for helping me get into my new school because even from 3 days in there I really love it. I really hope you understand this is probably the first school I think I belong in. Finding friends in schools is/was one of my difficulties but in this school I didn’t even need to try… People came up to me and we just started talking (but to be honest there’s no such thing as normal) and now I have lots of friends and 2 very good friends. So I really do thank so very much because I think I’m going to do very well here.”
