"你办事，我放心，更自豪。"

昨天回家，无忧的办公桌上，放着一封，天仙太太起草的介绍信，给大学一年级的小女儿，梦梦。
梦梦参加的一个大学社团组织，社团组织也要看看家长对孩子的看法和希望，以及孩子的成长过程，同时，要付上每年两千美元的会员费。
梦梦的愿望，是要成为一位伟大的美国法官。
无忧看后，欣然同意，签字。同时，给与天仙太太无限深情的表彰，鼓励和支持。
"你办事，我放心，更自豪"。

Dear Meng Meng,

Mom and Dad want to start this letter to you with a note: We love you unconditionally!

We always believe in you. You are trustworthy, uplifting, reliable, strong and independent! You work hard and always aim high. Even if you fall, you will get up and keep going on. The day when you fell from a monkey bar and broke your wrist when you were at elementary school, the day when you fell from horseback riding and broke your arm when you were attending your training session, you learned that falling down is part of life. Getting back up is living!

You are the most beautiful girl in our heart. The moment we see you getting up in the morning, getting off from the school bus, your beautiful smile and sweet voice brighten our day. When we were riding on metro back from our trip to Smithsonian Museum, two high school girls were looking at you saying how beautiful you were!

You are not only beautiful on the outside but also inside. You are kind to your friends and always go extra miles to help whomever in need. You are very compassionate. It is your kindness and compassion that sets you apart, growing up when meeting people, you always show sweet smile on your face. You always go out of your way to look out for your friends and to make people feel comfortable around you. Your compassion and kindness are so contagious that you literally brighten our home, as well as your friends'. You have earned love, trust and respect from mom and dad, and your friends! We are so proud of you!  The achievements you have made so far, from academic studies to developing life skills, is setting a foundation for your bright future! Keep going!

Thirty-three years ago, dad came to the U.S. with zero dollar in his pocket. He had a great sponsor and mentor, Governor of Mississippi, one of the richest men in Mississippi, who served as the Governor for two terms. Mom came to the U.S. thirty years ago with less than $200.00 in her pocket. Both mom and dad studied hard and worked hard, believing everything is possible as long as we keep trying. We believe "America is a shining city upon a hill whose beacon light guides freedom-loving people everywhere". We believe good things will come as long as we work hard and have a positive attitude. We believe the most beautiful thing is our dream for a better future for us and for our children. If we believe our dream, we are one step closer to our success. Keep your dream alive! Let your dream wake up you every morning! Try new things and take the road less traveled, Hard work and diligence will pay off.

Mom and dad love you and have full faith in you! As you go ahead in life, we want you to follow your heart, dream of what you want to achieve, never settle for anything less. While you aim high, enjoy every step along the way! There are times when you feel down and gloomy.

Don't allow stress to overtake you. Life is not always fair and square; you will have proud moments as well as the not-so-proud moments. The key to a happy and successful life is to stay humble during those proud moments and learn from the not-so-proud ones.

Always remember to choose your friends wisely! At this stage your friends will have a great influence on you, so always choose people who can uplift you and make you feel loved.

There will always be a boy who will break your heart, do not let that define who you are. We know it is hard to move on but during times like these, do not forget mom and dad are always there for you. Wait for the right person and not to settle for anything less. And always remember you are a beautiful girl with an equally kind heart!

If you need a shoulder to rest, do not forget that mom and dad are right here for you! With unconditional love and immense pride,

Mom and Dad
