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 flies! Now you're starting junior high! Are you excited for this new phase?

Elementary school was like a small, safe pool. Mom and I protected your boat from any troubles. But junior high is like a wide river. It's big and the current moves fast. You'll face new challenges. We're still here to help, but sometimes you'll need to navigate on your own. Just do your best and work hard. Remember: No pain, no gain. You might encounter challenges, but they will make you stronger, like sailing through storms to reach the open sea.

We turned this letter into a new paper boat. We hope it guides you in the coming years!

With love,

Dad and Mom
