Before Your New Journey Begins

Dad: Mia, do you remember when you turned six?

Mia: Yes, Dad! We made a paper boat together and set it sailing in the pool.

Mom: Look, Mia! Here's a new paper boat for you!

Dad: It's a letter from Mom and me. We want to share some thoughts with you.

Mia: Oh, thank you!

Dear Mia,

Time has flown by! You're now in junior high! Are you excited for this new chapter?

Elementary school was like a small, safe pool. Mom and I helped protect your boat from any troubles. But junior high is more like a wide river with fast-moving water. You'll encounter new challenges. We're still here to support you, but sometimes you'll need to navigate on your own. Just do your best and work hard. Remember: Hard work pays off. You may face challenges, but they'll help you grow stronger, like sailing through storms to reach the open sea.

We turned this letter into a paper boat, hoping it guides you in the years ahead!

With love,

Dad and Mom
