I M Angel Samsuhadi Analysis

I’m Angel Samsuhadi. I am 13 years old and I live in America. Although, I am of Indonesian descent. In class we were assigned to read your book. I suppose you would get a plethora of letters just like this. Who knows if this letter will actually reach you.

Thanks to you, I know that making a change is possible at any age with some effort and
