You will face new problems.We are still here to help. But sometimes you have to sail your boat by yourself. Just try your best and work hard. Remember this: no pain, no gain.

Dear Mom and Dad,
Thank you so much for your letter! It made me feel better about starting junior high. It's definitely different from primary school—it's like moving from a small, safe pool to a wide river where everything moves faster. I think my main problem right now is all the new subjects. But I'm going to work hard and try my best, just like you said. Your support means everything to me. By the way, the paper boat was such a creative idea! I love you both very much.
With love,
Mia
