Ep 3, Chapter 6: Sam & Martha

Dear Aunt Martha,

How are things at the farm? Sorry to bother you in the middle of the harvest season.

I'm a sophomore this year, and my teachers have started talking about colleges, even more than they did during my freshman year. I really want to go to college, but my dad freaks out whenever I bring it up. Most kids at school have parents who can help them with the brochures and applications, and I don't even know where to start.

I would never ask, but all of my dad's other adult friends are on his side, and I don't know the school guidance counselors at all (we move around a lot). We're going to be in Kansas next week, and I'm hoping to be able to slip away for a few hours. Could I meet you at a coffee shop or a library something?

Don't worry about writing back if you don't have time. I remember how busy the farm can be!

Sincerely,

If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

Dear Sam,

It's great to hear from you! Things are busy at the farm, but never too busy to reply to your letter.

It's been a long time since I went through college applications, but I'd be happy to help you look over things. Please feel free to give us a call when you're near Smallville. We can meet at a coffee shop if you prefer, but you're welcome to come by the house, too. Clark would love to see you, even if it's just for a little while. Dean is welcome, too.

I never want you to worry that you're bothering me by writing. I hope you write more often!

Love,

Aunt Martha

Dear Aunt Martha,

I wanted to thank you again for all of your help with those college brochures. It was really kind of you to take the time to help me. After thinking it over some more, I'm going to apply to Stanford as my top choice and have a few other safety schools in case I don't get in (or don't get the scholarship). Your advice was really helpful. Also, thanks for helping me find all of those SAT study resources. When it's time for me to actually start applying, I feel like I'm going to be better off than most of my friends at school whose parents are making them take SAT prep classes every weekend!

Thank you also for your offer for a recommendation letter—I'll be sure to take you up on it when the time comes.

Love,

Sam Winchester
