Dear Emily Kopcik:
My name is Yonglin Xiao, I am very happy to get letters from you. How are you doing so far?
From your last letter I learned that if a person doesn’t have a goal, then he would be lost in the future. I am currently studying in Xiyuan Ethnic Minorities High school. I have always thought that knowledge can change a person’s life. I also always make myself plans for the future and keep them in my mind. After facing many troubles and doing alot of hard work, I am still somewhat far from my goal. I thought about quitting once, but I know it would be terrible if I gave up working and the result would really be unimaginable. I am still searching for a path on the “knowledge road” in order to reach my dream. I truly believe a person can achieve everything if he works hard enough.
I am happy to hear about your dream, and I also have my own college dream like you. But I only hope that I can work hard and achieve my college dream. At the same time I also hope you can achieve your dream and don’t leave any regrets behind.
Perhaps the scariest thing in this world is if a person doesn’t have support from others. Actually letters of support is a kind of love and also happiness. Since I have your support, I really feel the warmth from you. Because of your support, I am no longer lonely. My life is now much more colorful and beautiful. I also hope you can have a great day every day!
Best wishes,
Yonglin Xiao
