Dad: Mia, do you remember your sixth birthday?

Mia: Of course, Dad. We made a paper boat together and watched it sail away in the pool.

Mum: Look, Mia. A new paper boat just for you!

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

Mia: Oh, thank you!

Dear Mia,

How time flies! You are now in junior high! Are you prepared for this new chapter in your life?

Primary school was akin to a tranquil pool, small and secure. Dad and I shielded your boat from gusts of wind. However, junior high is more like a river, broad and swiftly flowing. You will encounter new challenges. While we are here to support you, sometimes you must navigate your boat alone. Give your best effort and remember: "No pain, no gain." As you weather the storms, you will navigate toward the open sea.

We crafted this letter into a new paper boat. May it guide you in the years ahead!

With love, Dad and Mum
