Before your journey starts

Dad: Mia, do you remember your sixth birthday?

Mia: Of course, Dad. We made a paper boat together and set it afloat in the pool.

Mum: Look at this, 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! You're now entering junior high! Are you prepared for this new chapter?

Elementary school was like a small, safe pool where Mom and Dad shielded your boat from the winds. But junior high is more like a wide, fast-moving river. You'll encounter new challenges and face them head-on. We're always here to support you, but sometimes you'll need to navigate on your own. Give your best effort and work diligently. Remember: no pain, no gain. Embrace the storms as you sail towards new horizons.

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

With love,

Dad and Mom
