| "Hi Georgina,
It's me! The singer from Glenmary who you talked to about quitting. I just wanted to tell you that I am extremely appreciative of the terrific, yet horryifying, presentation you gave the other day. I must say, out of all of the educational presentations that school has presented us with, yours was the most captivating, interesting, and inspirational one I have ever witnessed. I wanted to add that the day after I watched your presentation I went straight to the town library on my spare to loan out your book. As I told you I have been smoke free for a few days and now it is your book that is getting me through the cravings, (as well as the large amount of candy and sugarfree gum I mentioned to you!) Each day that I read more and more of your helpful book, I become more determined that smoke will stay out of my life and out of my lungs for good. In the 5 days that I have been without a cigarette I have already noticed a significant improvement in my voice and so did my singing teacher, Provincials on Saturday may not be as hard as I thought it would be, now that I am an ex-smoker! What I really want to tell you is that thanks to you and your curiosity and intelligence towards the fraud that is the tobacco companies, I now have the much needed drive and determination to erase cigarettes from my daily life, if not from my thoughts. So, once again thankyou ever so much! I will keep e-mailing you to inform you of my further progress. Yours Sincerely and Thankfully, Alyson Sheehan, Gr. 11, Glenmary School, Peace River, AB Alyson's letter was published in the Peace River Record Gazette. Click here to see it! |
