HAPPY MOTHERS’ DAY
I would like to thank you for giving me
a life. Even though I have not always been the ideal and perfect daughter, at
least I try my best to be one. I do appreciate and love you.
I never blamed you for your absence in
my life and I hope you do the same too. It is normal and okay not to show
affection towards each other because we are both raised in the Chinese
conservative ways.
If anyone would ask me when my happiest
moment was, I would definitely answer every moment with my family without any
doubt. Past tense, present tense and future tense. It is a very fact that will
never change.

once said ‘’We never grow up. We only learn how to act in public.’’ Last year,
I was still struggling being an 18. It took me a long while to decide whether
to act like an adult or some teenagers who have to depend on others. I was
afraid, afraid that if I grow up too fast, you will not be able to catch me, or
you will put all responsibilities on me. With that, you will expect a lot from
me. I scare to fail your high expectation.
Now,
this year, at the age of 19, I have become stronger and tougher. I act like a
grown-up. I try to be brave in public and interact with everyone. I feel the
difference. I am no longer the timid Joo Yee, but instead a person who is
rational and analyse everything wisely.
Hence,
I hope you would be strong as you have always been. Sometimes, it is okay to
lean on people and tell me your difficulties. Although I may not help you to
solve the problems, I’m a good listener though.
Wish
you luck in the future and remember not to worry too much. Be happy and smile
always.
