Dear Mia
Time flies! You are now in junior high! Are you ready for your new life?
Primary school was like a pool. It was small and safe. Dad and Mum protected your boat from winds. But junior high is like a river. It is wide and the water moves fast. 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. You will go through storms towards the sea.
We made this letter into a new paper boat. We hope it helps you in the coming years!
With love,
Dad and Mum
