A letter


Today, I received a letter from my mom. At first, I felt a little nervous to open the envelope because I didn’t know why she chose to write the letter instead of just calling me directly. The moment I opened it, I laughed. She sent me a newspaper clipping and a slip of paper. Besides reminding me to take care of myself, she said that the article on newspaper is somewhat like her experience and I can learn from it. The main point of the clipping is an experience of a student who went to foreign country alone. She said that she had learnt how to handle the mood when she was alone. At that moment, you will be in your own place and no one can influence you. You can use more time to think lots of things, such as who am I or what things you want to accomplish in the future. It is a good way to make you know yourself profoundly. I consider that I still need to control myself well because sometimes in my free time, I chose sleeping and playing my computer instead of doing some significant thing for myself. But I don’t want to spend most time on study. Maybe I can spare a period of time to travel by myself! Who knows that what will happen in the future?
