[Linda Mentink]

Hi Marissa,

This doesn't make sense to me. Since we don't have a copy of the 
document you refer to, it's impossible for us to help you with the 
reading of said document.

The circle of fifths is as follows:

The keys are, going up for the sharps: C, G, D, A, E, B, F-Sharp, C-Sharp.

Going down for the flats: C, F, B-Flat, E-Flat, A-Flat, D-Flat, G-Flat, C-Flat.

The C scale is as you said.
The G scale is G, A, B, C, D, E, F-Sharp, G.
The D scale is D, E, F-Sharp, G, A, B, C-Sharp, D.
The A scale is A, B, C-Sharp, D, E, F-Sharp, G-Sharp, A.
The E scale is E, F-Sharp, G-Sharp, A, B, C-Sharp, D-Sharp, E.

The F-Sharp scale is F-Sharp, G-Sharp, A-sharp, B, C-Sharp, D-Sharp, 
E-Sharp, F-Sharp.
The C-Sharp scale is C-Sharp, D-Sharp, E-Sharp, F-Sharp, G-Sharp, 
A-Sharp, B-Sharp, C-Sharp.
