Letter To Parents

Dear Mom and dad,

First of all, I'd like to thank you for everything you've done for me, now and forever. All of your wonderful support has seriously helped me become who I am today. I've been taught both by you and teachers that mistakes make you a better person and when you fail you should keep trying, so when asked what successes I achieved in my childhood I always like to reply with my failures.
