Letter to Parents

Dear dad and mom:

     Thank you for all your encouragement and care. From your encouragement, it leads me to become more brave and positive to face difficulties. Immigrated to the United States, the lifestyle had changed completely. You worked very hard and tried to give me a better future. Now I am in college, time seems to have passed by very fast. I know you have high expectations for me. I will try my best to achieve your expectations. I do not want you to feel disappointed. I leave home and live in the college dorm. You always worry if I can take care of myself. Mom and dad, don’t worry. I will be fine.

The college life, I am getting used to it. I am exploring new things and meeting new people. Although I can’t be home everyday, but college gives me a chance to learn to be independent. You always behind my back to support me and believe I can accomplish my educational goals. I will graduate in college and have a good job that I like. You don’t want me to work as hard as you did. Life can be difficult in some way. When having difficulties, the most important is to overcome difficulties. Don’t try to ignore them and think the problems will be gone. It is actually getting worse and worse. That’s what you always taught me as growing up. I always remember in my heart. Last week in school, I had some difficulties on the homework in psychology class. I knew I needed some helps, so I scheduled an appointment in the tutoring center. The tutor explained to me the homework and made sure I understood what the homework was asking me to do. She gave me suggestions and ideas that led me to start on my homework. Besides the tutoring center, there are many other resources I can get help from if I get stuck on my school works. In college, there is no one telling me what to do next- it’s all on my own. Being proactive is an important step to be successful.

You must want to know what my goals are in college. My goals in college are to get good grades in every classes, increase professional skills, meet new people and to graduate college with my degree. I will strive to move forward toward my goals everyday. Every steps I move forward, I get a little more closer toward my goals. Thank you for your motivations and supports that make me to become a better person.

                       Sincerely,

your daughter Shu Juan ( Amy) Huang
