Dear Erik
Let me be honest with you
and your readers. I come from
a simple back ground and a
poor family. I am the only
per n in my family who has
ever finished high hool and
business school. But I am till
learning a lot. I have a very
good job and ju a fe days ag
my boss too me ou t to dinner.
I t was the fir t time that I have
ever been in a fancy restaurant.
I was a little afraid and I'm sure
that I m de a few mistakes.
My date ordered the food
for me I didn't like it but
I ate it!). I really wanted me
thing else to eat but I as afraid
to say mething because I
didn't want him to think that
I didn't have any manners. Was
I right or wrong?
