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

亲爱的米娅，

时间过得真快啊！你现在已经进入初中了！对于这个新的阶段，你感到兴奋吗？

小学就像是一个小小的安全泳池。妈妈和我帮助保护你的小船，让它远离麻烦。但是初中就像是一条宽阔的河流，水流湍急。你将面临新的挑战。我们依然在这里支持你，但有时候你需要自己航行。尽你最大的努力，勤奋工作。记住：付出的努力一定会有回报。你可能会遇到挑战，但它们会帮助你变得更强大，就像穿过风暴抵达开阔的大海一样。

我们把这封信折成了一只纸船，希望它能在未来的岁月里指引你！

全心爱你的， 爸爸和妈妈
