Dear Thomas,
Thank you for your email! I'm sorry to hear you missed the bus, but it's good that you managed to make it to school. My school isn't very far from my house, just about a 15-minute walk. I usually go by foot, as it's a nice way to start the day. Sometimes I ride my bike, which is even quicker. It takes me around 10 minutes that way. Hope to hear more from you soon!
Best wishes,
