Hi grandma, I'm calling to say happy birthday, I hope you're having a good day.
Thank you. Michael. It's great to hear from you. It's been awhile since we've talked.
I know grandma. I'm sorry I've been so busy with school and activities lately. I'm captain of the basketball team this year and I'm also applying to colleges for next fall.
Oh, Michael, I'm so proud of you, you're a very accomplished young man. Do you know where you want to go to college?
I really want to go to the University of Southern California, but they might not let me in. It's a very good school and it's very difficult to be accepted there.
Well, I'm sure they will take you, honey. You're a special young man. You've really made your grandfather and me so proud.
