An Open Letter to Parents

An Open Letter to Parents,

     Your child is worth more than their GPA

     Your child is worth more than the colleges they get into

     Your child is worth more than the sports they play

 

     Your child is going to get hurt, but they will heal

     Your child is going to fall in love; it will be messy, but it will be beautiful

     Your child is going to make mistakes, but they will learn

 

     Your child is trying to figure themselves out, so be patient

     Your child is trying to make you proud, so don’t pressure them

     Your child is trying their best.

 

                                                 Sincerely,

                                                                A child
