A "Fired" Student's Apology

I've gotten so many sweet messages from this student, who wants to reassure me that her dropping my High Intermediate Academic ESL class had nothing to do with any dissastisfaction with me.  (Another time I'll share her letter of reassurance--so earnest that it brings to mind the words of Hamlet's mother, "Methinks the lady doth protest too much.")

Here's what she had to say about not obeying Manuscript Rules:

Note: I am sorry because I usually used a pencil to write my assignments to turn in them to you. It is my bad habit because I love to write with the pencil and I feel comfortable by using it. Therefore, I broke your laws of the class, did I not? I think that is why I am not qualified and I am fired from the class. :):)..
