Dear Mom,

Time flies quickly. Two months has gone by since I joined this boarding school. Everything is going well. During my first month here, I was like a fish out of water. I came to realize how many things I should thank you for.

On the cold winter days, I have to get up early almost every morning to fetch hot water. I began to feel ashamed that I never said ‘thank you” every time you prepared (准备) hot water for me each morning on winter days before I got up.

I am no longer that girl who was often unable to find her books in her bedroom. It used to take me a lot of time to collect all the books for the day’s classes. But I have gotten over that bad habit now. And now I know how much time you used to take to collect my books every evening.

I have learned to do the laundry on my own now. I came to realize that washing clothes is a boring job, especially on winter days. Sometimes there is no hot water and I have to wash my clothes with cold water by hand.

I came to know how grateful (感激的) I should be to have you as my mom. Thank you, Mom.

Yours,

Silvia
