Dear Kruti,

Welcome to the world of schooling.  Wishing you the best day, week, month, and year.  Hope you have an amazing time learning and with friends.  Make sure to listen to your teachers and try your very best in everything you do.  Your high school experience will be educational, full of laughter, and fun.  Sometimes you will feel stressed and down.  You will face peer pressure and may have difficulty concentrating.  Stay kind no matter the circumstances.  Be confident.  Believe in yourself.  I hope your teachers inspire you and challenge you.  You’re starting high school.  Be brave. Best of luck!

-Mom, Jaimi
