Dear Little Sister,
Congratulations! You have finally made it!
First off, I want to say how proud I am of all you have accomplished. Throughout these past years, you have strived and persevered through school and all the work you have been given. You never gave up even when something was tough. You should be proud of yourself as well.
I can’t believe the time has finally come for you. I know I only graduated a year ago, but because it is still so fresh in my mind, I know exactly how you are feeling and it makes me reminisce about my own time in high school. I remember when we were just little kids in elementary school playing in our backyard thinking that time goes so slow and that we will never grow up, but the older we get, the faster time seems to move.
I hope you got everything you wanted out of your four years of high school and your twelve years of school. I also hope that you are happy with how everything turned out during your school years. You should be; you did an excellent job!
Now, it is time for you to go off to college and into the real world. College is great and you are going to have an amazing time studying, learning, and making new friends and memories. Like high school, you have to make the most out of every opportunity you come across. Enjoy these next four years of your life.
Even with just one year of college, you’ll learn so much more about yourself than you’ll ever expect to. My advice to you is to keep an open-mind and trust your instincts.
Also, now that you are entering the “real world” you are expected to be an adult. I know certain little things are scary that you know you can do. I know you’re scared and feel awkward at the same time because mostly you just don’t want to do it and mom pretty much spoke for you half the time. Despite that, do not be scared. Everyone is and everyone must do it. Eventually, you’ll get over the fear (maybe).
As your one and only big sister, believe me when I tell you that I will always be here for you not matter what happens whenever you need me. Despite our ups and downs and our stupid and petty little fights, day or night, you can call me whenever you feel the need. I will always be around to help you out with whatever you may need.
I hope you have an amazing next four years at college. Good luck! So once again, congratulations! I will love you always!
Love always,
Your Favorite Big Sister
