Dear. Mother

Dear Mother,

Mother, This is Rachel. How are you? I am really fine. I hope that you are fine. Although sometimes we call on the cell phone and send E-mail in Korean to each other, writing in English is a first time, isn’t it? Maybe you can’t understand some sentences, but please read carefully.
Because of the Mother’s Day, I am writing this one. So I am very happy, because I can express my feeling to you. Actually it is hard and ackword for me to express to thank. But, today I will be brave and say what I'm feeling.

After I came here, I was deeply touched by many things. Above all, I thank you for everything. Because of the help of you and father, I was able to study here and experience a lot of things. I think that those will give me help in the future. Of course until now, the time passed two months since I came here and I felt something wanting. I should have done my better. So from now when I am doing something, I know that I will have to try to do my better.

And even though I already know your importance, I am realizing more and more here. You always helped me everything in Korea, but I have to solve everything here by myself. Especially when I make a living, I really miss your outstretched hand. As you know, I can’t do anything very well, but nowadays I can do things better than the first time. Also I am realizing the importance of my family. You know that I am alone, although there are many friends in here. But, there is not a person like my family. I have depended on my family until now and I will depend on, because a family is a big energy for me.

I know that you are worried about me every day, every time, so I always havecaution whatever I do. Therefore don’t worry about me. As you know, I am very strong. And I am spending good times with good people and I am experiencing many good things, so I am so happy. I don’t want you to worry about me, so I will not be sick and I will eat very well and I will be always happy.

Of course I miss you and my family, but I can wait to meet you. I have a passion and a dream. I try to be good daughter for you and father, because you and father gave me a lot of opportunity to do something. After I study hard in here, I will prove it to you my good appearance. Until I go back Korea. I don’t want to hear any bad news about my family. Therefore mother, please be healthy, father and sister also. And please give me best regards to father and sister. Now I must stop here for today. Thanks you for everything, mother. I love you.
